23. Effects of preemptive intravenous dexamathasone on patients undergoing MIS-TLIF
BACKGROUND CONTEXT
Enhancing postoperative outcomes after minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) using preemptive intravenous dexamethasone administered preoperatively. The primary objective was to determine whether dexamethasone improves postoperative clinical outcomes with minimal adverse effects, particularly on fusion status.
PURPOSE
Evaluate the effects of preemptive dexamethasone on patients undergoing MIS-TLIF procedure.
STUDY DESIGN/SETTING
Double blind RCT.
PATIENT SAMPLE
Thirty in each group.
OUTCOME MEASURES
Postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) scores at rest and during motion at 24 hours, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks - mean morphine-equivalent consumption - Side effects between the two groups (surgical site infection, hyperglycemia, nausea/vomiting) - Length of stay - Fusion status at 1 year.
METHODS
Patients undergoing primary MIS-TLIF for spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, or degenerative disc disease were randomized to receive either preemptive intravenous dexamethasone (0.15 mg/kg, max 12 mg) or placebo preoperatively. Postoperative assessments included VAS scores for pain at rest and during motion, morphine consumption, postoperative nausea, blood glucose levels, surgical site infections, total length of stay, and spinal fusion status, with data collected up to 1 year.
RESULTS
Sixty patients were included in the study, with 30 patients in each group. No significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding age, sex, diagnosis, BMI, preoperative VAS scores (rest and motion), or preoperative blood glucose levels. VAS scores for pain at rest and during motion were significantly lower in the dexamethasone group at 24 hours postoperatively (p = 0.001 for both) but showed no differences from 2 weeks to 12 weeks postoperatively. Morphine consumption and nausea were significantly lower in the dexamethasone group (p = 0.001 for both). Length of stay, surgical site infections, serum glucose levels (p = 0.82), and fusion rates (96.7% in both groups, p = 1) showed no significant differences.
CONCLUSIONS
Preemptive intravenous dexamethasone for patients undergoing MIS-TLIF statistically reduces postoperative pain at rest and during motion, morphine consumption, and postoperative nausea compared to placebo. It demonstrates a high safety profile and does not affect fusion status.
