Clinical evaluation of temporary balloon occlusion of the abdominal aorta in sacral tumors surgical operation / 中国矫形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To evaluate temporary balloon occlusion of the abdominal aorta in sacral tumors surgical operation as a useful adjuvant technique.[Method]Temporary balloon occlusion of abdominal aorta was used in 36 patients during the sacral tumors surgical operations(study group).Another 32 patients with sacral tumors who receive the preoperative arterial embolization theraphy were used as control group.The quantity of blood loss during the surgery,the whole surgery time,the complication,mean days in hospital,recovery days post-operation and recurrence rate were recorded.The results in two groups were compared with each other.[Result]The time of operations of study group was(149.19?73.81)minutes.The loss of blood was(826.67?509.11)ml.Two cases had complication after operation.Mean days in hospital were(26.05?7.08)d.Recovery days post-operation were(34.61? 8.22)d.Recurrence rate of six months was 5.5 %.Recurrence rate of one year was 11%.Recurrence rate of two years was 16%.The time of operations of control group was(221.33?45.19)min.The loss of blood was( 1 652 ?706.99)ml.Eight cases had complications after operation.Mean days in hospital were(37.93?7.63)d.Recovery days post-operation were(46.03?9.67)d.Recurrence rate of six months was 18%.Recurrence rate of one year was 31%.Recurrence rate of two years was 40.6%.[Conclusion]The effect of temporary balloon occlusion of abdominal aorta is reliable.It significantly reduced the time of operations,the loss of blood,complications,mean days in hospital,recovery days post-operation and recurrence rate.It makes the operation of sacral tumors much more safer than before.
