P27. A multicenter retrospective study on single-level thoracolumbar corpectomy and vertebral body replacement done by neurosurgeons
BACKGROUND CONTEXT
Vertebral body replacement (VBR) is a crucial intervention for addressing fractures and tumors that compromise spinal stability. Traditional methods often involve extensive muscle dissection and the assistance of access surgeons, leading to longer recovery times. The eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF) approach, performed exclusively by neurosurgeons without the need for access surgeons, offers a minimally invasive alternative, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing complications.
PURPOSE
To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of vertebral body replacement (VBR) using the eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF) technique performed exclusively by neurosurgeons, assessing its efficacy in reducing pain, improving neurological function, and restoring spinal stability in patients with fractures or tumors.
STUDY DESIGN/SETTING
This is a retrospective clinical study conducted in a single neurosurgical center, analyzing outcomes of single-level vertebral body replacement (VBR) performed exclusively by neurosurgeons using the eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF) technique between 2018 and 2023.
PATIENT SAMPLE
The study included 23 consecutive patients who underwent single-level vertebral body replacement (VBR) using the XLIF technique between 2018 and 2023. The sample consisted of patients with vertebral fractures or tumors requiring anterior column reconstruction.
OUTCOME MEASURES
Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain and the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) classification for neurological status. Radiological outcomes included preoperative and postoperative CT measurements of regional angulation and spinal stability. Complications were also recorded and analyzed.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 23 patients who underwent single-level vertebral body replacement (VBR) using the XLIF technique between 2018 and 2023. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores for pain and the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) classification for neurological function. Radiological assessments included preoperative and postoperative CT scans to measure regional angulation and spinal stability. Data were analyzed for pain reduction, neurological improvement, and complication rates.
RESULTS
Patients demonstrated significant clinical improvements, with a median reduction in VAS pain scores from 8 to 2 and neurological improvement in 82.6% of cases (ASIA E classification). Radiological outcomes showed a median kyphotic angle correction of 5° post-dorsal stabilization and 9° post-ventral stabilization. Complications were noted in 8.7% of cases, including pleural injuries and hypoesthesia, primarily in thoracic VBR and osteoporotic patients. Overall, the XLIF technique provided substantial pain relief, neurological recovery, and spinal stability.
CONCLUSIONS
VBR via XLIF is a promising technique for treating vertebral fractures and tumors, offering substantial pain relief, neurological recovery, and spinal stability. Despite some complications, the procedure demonstrates significant clinical and radiological benefits, underscoring its efficacy in complex spinal pathologies.
