For evaluation of suspected infectious spondylitis, 19 consecutive patients underwent imaging-guided spine biopsy with needle aspiration and a percutaneous diskectomy device to determine if the diskectomy device provided diagnostic value. In 79% of cases, the diskectomy device yielded a specimen when needle aspiration failed. A significantly greater yield of specimen was observed with the diskectomy device, and >50% of cases with failed needle aspiration had biopsies positive for infection.
为了评估疑似感染性脊柱炎,19 名连续患者接受了影像学引导下的脊柱活检,使用了经皮椎间盘切除术器械,以确定椎间盘切除术器械是否具有诊断价值。在 79%的情况下,当针吸失败时,椎间盘切除术器械可以获得标本。与针吸相比,椎间盘切除术器械的标本产量显著增加,并且 >50%的针吸失败病例的活检结果为感染阳性。
