AN ANALYSIS OF 50 OPERATIONS OF THE VERTEBREKCTOMY AND ANTERIOR SPINAL FUSION FOR TREATMENT OF VERTEBRAL TUBERCULOSIS

Year 1986, Volume: 20 Issue: 3, 231 - 244, 09.07.2006

Abstract

The results in the first 50 clinical cases, 2 to 65 years old, who and debridement and anterior spinal fusion for Potts disease at the Orthopaedic Department of Faculty of Medicine of Ankara University and Çankaya Hospital, Ankara. Between 1964-1974 were revieved retrospectivety after follow-ups from 1 to 10 years. The duration of symptoms prior the admission ranged from 3 months to five years. Forty three of the 50 cases had paraplegia and were first seen 1 month to 24 months and average 9.3 months after the onset of their neural symptoms. In the forty three patients with paraplegia, the causes of neural campression were found as: BoBne seguestrum, caseous material pus, a seguestrated disc, a protruding ridge of bone produaee by kyphoscoliosis, pachymeningitis, and pus within the dura. In our 50 Clinical cases after follow-ups one to ten year 37 (%74) patients showed solid fusion and healing of the tuberculous lesion. In 5 (%10) there was stabtenonunions and apparent healing of the disease. The remaining 8 (%16) were classified as having unstable non-unions reguiring further treatment.
Post operatively an apparent increase of kyphosis, as determined roentgenographicaly average increase of 22.2 degrees were noted. The causes of increasing kyphosis were slippabe of the grafts, protrusion of the grafts into osteoporotic vertebral body and disc spaces, fracture of the grafts and overgrowth of the posterior part of the fusion mass. The post operative complications were: 3 superficial infections, 1 deep infections 10 fractures of the graft, 5 slippage of the graft, 4 post operative paralytic ileus (temporary) 1 cardiac arrest (a three year old boy had cardiac arrest right after the operation, while tansfering to strecher. Unfortunately he passed away). The following conclusions are offered:
1 The anterior approach gives direct, wide access to the diseased area and it is possible to remove all pothological focii radicalty.
2 Early decompression and anterior fusion is essential to avoid further destruction which may result in severe kyphosis, paraplegia and impairment of cardiopulmonary function.
3 Only and definite treatment of Pott's paraplegia can be obtained by antenor decompression and fusion.
4 In severe kyphotic cases, decompression of spinal cord should be incide through the posterolateral approach.
5 An anterior interbody spinal fusion between more than two vertebral segments may cause instability and subluxation. In this kind of cases, a second operation, posterler fusion is employed 6 weeks later.
6 In the treatment of Pott's disease, evacuation of the contents of the abscess combined with removal of all avascular bone and anterior fusion using strut grafts has given results superior to those obtained by other methods.

Vertebral Tüberkülozun Tedavisinde Vertebrektomi ve Anterior Spinal Füzyon Uyguladığımız 50 Vakanın Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Ankara Tıp Fakültesi Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Kliniği ile Çankaya Hastanesinde 1964-1984 yılları arasında, vertebral tüberkülozdan mustarip 50 vakaya cerrahi müdahalede bulunulmuş ve bu vakaların 1-20 yıllık takipleri yapılmıştır. Müdahale edilen ve yaş hudutları 2-65 olan hastaların Preoperatif semptomlannın devamı 3 ay ila 5 yıl kaydedilmiştir. Parapleji tesbit edilen 43 hastada semptomların devamı 1-24 ay ve ortalama 9.3 ay bulunmuştur. Bu 43 paraplejik hastada spinal kord kompresyonunun sebebi olarak: Abse kaseöz materyel, sekestrize kemik ve disk, geç paraplejik vakalarda ise, ciddi kifoskolioza bağlı mekanik baskı, pakimenengitis ve intradural invazyon kaydedilmiştir. 50 vakalık serimizde 1-20 yıl devam eden fallow-up tetkikinde %74 ossöz fuzyonla müterafık başarı, %10 stabil nonuniona rağmen hastalığın sükun bulduğu ve %16 vakada da unstabil non-union'la müterafık başarısızlık tesbit edilmiş ve bu gruptaki hastalara ilave tedaviler gerekmiştir. Postoperatf olarak vakalarımızda vasati olarak %22.2 arasında mevcut kifozoda bir artış görülmüş olup bunda, grefierin kayması, greflerin kırılması, komşu vertebraların porotik durumu, disk içine penetre olan gref uçlarının rezorbsiyonu, greflerin posterior kısmında aşırı vertebral büyüme gibi faktörler sorumlu tutulmuştur. Ameliyat sonu komplikasyonu olarak: 3 sathi infeksiyon, 1 derin infeksiyon. 10 gref kırılması, 5 gref kayması, 4 geçici paralitik ileus, 1 kardiak arrest (Üç yaşındaki bir çocukta ameliyat bittikten sonra, hastanın sedyeye alınması sırasında oldu, bütün çalışmalara rağmen kurtarması mümkün olmadı.) 1 Postaperatif ikinci günde Cardio-Reopiral komplikasyona bağlı ölüm. Netice olarak, Vertebral Tüberkülozun tedavisinde:
1 Anterior apraç ile bütün hasta bölge radikal olarak temizlenir.
2 Erken anterior füzyon ile daha fazla harabiyet, kifoz, parapleji, kardio-vasküler bozukluklar önlenir.
3 Paraplejinin yegane ve tam tedavisi imkanı anterior dekompresyon ve füzyon ile sağlanır.
4 Ciddi kifetik vakalarda dekompresyon postero-lateral aproçla yapılmalıdır.
5 Anterior apraçla stabilite bozukluğu veya subluksasyon gelişen vakalarda, 6 hafta sonra posterior füzyon ameliyatı yapılmalıdır.
