RESUMO
Introduction: In clinical studies involving common orthopedic problems and traumatic injuries, randomization methods are difficult to orchestrate. The lack of high-level clinical evidence based on prospective, randomized, double-blind studies is often cited as a major reason for rejecting proposed therapeutic advances in orthopedic surgery. Materials and methods: This opinion document summarizes the limitations of clinical trials in surgical subspecialties. A consensus is presented about how the practicing orthopedic surgeon can produce high-quality clinical evidence and thus make changes to their clinical practice protocols. Results: This literature review revealed that level of evidence classifications vary among surgical subspecialties. Research in orthopedics and traumatology is primarily directed toward diagnosis, preferred treatment, and economic decision analysis, while other prognostic classifications are preferred in other areas, such as plastic surgery. In orthopedics, double-blind controlled studies are rare and often impractical or even unethical. Crossover between randomized surgical trials of study groups is more common. Other difficulties in surgical trials range from: lack of organizational and financial support, institutional approval or ethics committee and registration requirements for clinical trials, and to insufficient time outside of an already busy clinical program to dedicate to this laborious task. uncompensated task. Conclusion: Orthopedic surgery is a subspecialty based on experience and skill. Many innovations begin with enterprising surgeons reporting opinion reports or retrospective cohort studies, many of which are biased. Prospective observational cohort studies with consistent results may offer higher grade clinical evidence than poorly executed randomized trials.
RESUMO
The advancement of the percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PECD) and its clinical success have led to similar minimally invasive approaches to the cervical spine. The goal of PECD is the decompression of the cervical nerve root through a direct endoscopic visualization, removing the herniated mass and shrinking the nucleous pulposus with the use of microforceps and holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser. The senior author have performed PECD with cervical laser assisted endoscopy since 1993. The PECD is indicate to patients with constrained or unconstrained soft herniated cervical disc, positive provocative test, and no bony spur larger than 2 mm, regardless of the herniation size. The authors described the surgical technique of PECD and report their 16 years of experience in the endoscopic treatment of the herniated cervical disc.
O avanço da discectomia endoscópica percutânea lombar e seu sucesso clínico levaram a abordagens minimamente invasivas para a coluna cervical. O objetivo da discectomia endoscópica percutânea cervical é o de descomprimir a raiz do nervo cervical por meio de uma visualização endoscópica direta, eliminando o fragmento herniado e diminuindo o núcleo pulposo, com o uso de fórceps e micro Hólmio: ítrio-alumínio-granada (Ho:YAG) laser. A discectomia endoscópica percutânea cervical com laser tem sido utilizada desde 1993 e é indicada nos pacientes com hérnia de disco, contida ou não, teste provocativo positivo e ausência de osteófito maior que 2 mm, independentemente do tamanho da hérnia. Os autores descreveram a técnica cirúrgica de discectomia endoscópica percutânea cervical e relataram 16 anos de experiência no tratamento endoscópico do disco cervical herniado.
