We introduce the 1-stage surgical treatment with 270° retention of the spinal structure via a posterior-only approach and investigate the clinical efficacy and feasibility of this method in treating thoracic and lumbar spinal tuberculosis. Summary of Background Data In former research articles, many potential disadvantages are found in the treatment of thoracic and lumbar tuberculosis after radical debridement, such as prolonged operative time, increased the surgical trauma, unsatisfactory bony fusion, instability of the spine, and too much blood loss. Methods Twenty-one patients who had thoracic and lumbar tuberculosis were admitted to our hospital between January 2013 and September 2014. All of them were treated with 1-stage surgical treatment by internal fixation, focal debridement, and fusion via the posterior-only approach. Then, the clinical efficacy was evaluated, with the Cobb angle reflecting spinal kyphotic angles, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Frankel Grade scores, and imaging examination preoperatively and postoperatively. Results Patients were followed up for 24 to 40 months (mean, 29.95 months), Fusion occurred at 4 to 9 months (mean, 5.86 months). There were significant differences between groups regarding the Cobb angle, ESR, and Frankel Grade scores. Delayed wound healing affected 1 patient because of diabetes. No complications regarding the internal fixation and no tuberculosis recurrence were observed during follow-up. Conclusions Combined with anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy, the method, characterized by 270° retention of the spinal structure, can be an effective and feasible method in treating thoracic and lumbar spinal tuberculosis.","PeriodicalId":14474,"journal":{"name":"International surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135761219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is an acquired condition of the hair follicles and is thought to be an obstruction of the infundibulum of a hair follicle. The follicle enlarges and ruptures, causing secondary infection, the development of fistulae and abscesses, and other complications. Methods: This is a retrospective study including all patients who had pilonidal sinus excision from January 2015 to December 2021 at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A review of pathological slides took place in the Department of Pathology, and the chart review was conducted in the Department of Surgery through electronic patient’s medical records. Results: All of the excised sinuses (100%) were benign, and none of the patients in the study population had any cancerous lesions. Around 90% of the patients had no history of recurrence, and 84.8% had no history of surgical abscess drainage. With respect to the histopathological subtype of a benign sinus, the most common type was chronic inflammation, followed by granulation and fibrosis. Conclusions: This study’s findings reveal that none of the patients were diagnosed as having malignancy after excision of the pilonidal sinus. However, the findings reveal no need for performing an unnecessary histopathological examination unless someone is at risk of developing cancer based on whether they have palpable lymph nodes and a history of recurrence.","PeriodicalId":14474,"journal":{"name":"International surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43574937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
