Regrafting the posterior ligamentous complex to reconstruct the spinal stability after spinal canal tumor resection / 局解手术学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the spinal stability of regrafting the posterior ligamentous complex after spinal canal tumor resection. Methods The data of 43 cases with spinal canal tumor in our department from July 2008 to July 2013 were retrospectively analyzed,who were fixed the free of the lamina by mini titanium-plate. Results The operation time was 130 to 220 min,the average time was 150 min. The blood loss volume was 200 to 750 mL,with average volume 340 mL. All patients were followed up for 6 to 42 months. No iatrogenic spinal cord injury nor complications such as artery injury,spinal cord and spinal nerve root local anomalies hydrops occurred. By Flexion-extension radio-graphs,regrafting of the posterior ligamentous complex after the resection of spinal cord tumors preserved spinal mobility well. Conclusion The mini titanium-plate fixation treatment of spinal canal tumor has good superiority and clinical feasibility by regrafting the posterior ligamen-tous complex and reconstructing the spinal stability.
