Posterior spinal osteotomy of severe and rigid congenital scoliosis with diastematomyelia / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of one stage posterior vertebral osteotomy for correction of severe and rigid congenital scoliosis associated with Ⅰ, Ⅱ type of diastematomyelia.Methods According to the diastematomyelia packet,52 patients were divided into type Ⅰ group performed with mediastinum resection combined with spinal osteotomy, group Ⅱ without treatment of diastematomyelia direct spinal osteotomy.Group Ⅲ spinal osteotomy directly without diastematomyelia.Results The mean operation time was (548.6±113.2) min,the average amount of bleeding was (3 728.6±1 436.5) ml.In group Ⅰ,the mean operation time was (608.6± 123.2) min, significantly longer than those of group Ⅱ ((521.3 ±102.4) min,t=2.787,P＜0.01).In group Ⅰ the average amount of bleeding was (5 018.3 ±2 174.2) ml, significant more than that of group Ⅱ((2 615.3± 1 132.8) ml,t=5.182,P＜0.01).Patients with preoperative Cobb angle measurement for (95.2± 14.3) degrees, postoperative for (35.2± 14.8) degrees, follow-up of 2 years for (37.6± 16.1) degrees, group Ⅰ included preoperative (92.3 ± 12.8) degrees, postoperative (32.6 ± 15.8)degrees, 2 years later (35.8 ± 17.2) degrees;group Ⅱ before operation (99.2 ± 17.3) degrees, postoperative (37.3±14.3)degrees, 2 years later (40.2± 15.3) degrees.The postoperative Cobb angle correction rate and correction loss rate showed no significant difference between two groups (P ＞0.05), a posterior spinal osteotomy for the treatment of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ with diastematomyelia severe rigid congenital scoliosis has good correction effect.This group of patients, the complication rate was 21.2％ (11/52);where in Ⅰ group the incidence rate of 36.4％ (8/22) was significantly higher than that of Ⅱ group 10.0％ (3/30) (P =0.021).Conclusion One stage posterior vertebral osteotomy for severe rigid with diastematomyelia of congenital scoliosis with the feasibility, effectiveness and safety, patients with type Ⅰ diastematomyelia should first bony mediastinum resection, Ⅱ type of diastematomyelia there is no need for treatment of diastematomyelia.
