To describe the clinical outcomes and complications in a consecutive series of extreme lateral interbody fusion cases.
Retrospective cohort review of 97 consecutive patients from three centers with minimum 6-month follow-up (mean 12 months). Functional status was evaluated by preoperative and last follow-up Oswestry Disability Index score. Leg and back pain were evaluated by visual analog scales. Complications were recorded and permanent complications and neurological impairment was actively investigated at last follow-up.
No permanent neurological impairment, vascular or visceral injuries were observed. Transient neurological symptoms presented in 7% of cases, all resolved within 1 month from surgery. Transient thigh discomfort was observed in 9%. Clinical success was recorded in 92% of cases.
Extreme lateral interbody fusion is a safe and effective technique for anterior interbody fusion.
描述一系列连续的极外侧椎间融合病例的临床结果和并发症。
对来自三个中心的 97 例连续患者进行回顾性队列研究,随访时间至少为 6 个月(平均 12 个月)。功能状态通过术前和最后随访时的 Oswestry 残疾指数评分进行评估。腿部和背部疼痛通过视觉模拟评分进行评估。记录并发症,并在最后随访时主动调查永久性并发症和神经损伤。
未观察到永久性神经损伤、血管或内脏损伤。7%的病例出现一过性神经症状,所有症状均在术后 1 个月内缓解。9%的病例出现一过性大腿不适。92%的病例获得临床成功。
极外侧椎间融合是一种安全有效的前路椎间融合技术。
