Previously, a computer-based navigation system has not been used routinely for en-bloc resection of sacral tumors. In order to improve the accuracy of tumor resection, O-arm navigation was used to join anterior and posterior osteotomies during an en-bloc resection of a sacral Ewing's sarcoma. This case study describes the technique for en-bloc resection of a sacral Ewing's sarcoma guided by O-arm computer navigation and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM). An 18-year-old male presented with weakness in his left lower extremity. MRI of the patient's spine showed a sacral mass causing compression of left S1 and S2 roots. A surgical resection was planned with anterior and posterior approaches. An O-arm computer navigation system was used to assist in meeting anterior osteotomy cuts with the posterior cuts to ensure complete resection of the sacral tumor with a safe margin. Computer-assisted navigation was used along with IONM during this procedure to help guide the surgical team in an adequate tumor resection. There were no complications related to the use of the O-arm or the navigation system. Computer navigation guidance is both useful and safe in sacral tumor resections. It enhanced the accuracy of the en-bloc removal of a sacral tumor with safe margins while protecting neural function and minimizing recurrence.
此前,基于计算机的导航系统尚未常规用于骶骨肿瘤的整块切除。为提高肿瘤切除的准确性,在一例骶骨尤因肉瘤的整块切除术中,使用O型臂导航连接前后截骨术。本病例研究描述了在O型臂计算机导航和术中神经生理监测(IONM)引导下整块切除骶骨尤因肉瘤的技术。一名18岁男性因左下肢无力就诊。患者脊柱的MRI显示骶骨肿块压迫左S1和S2神经根。计划采用前后联合入路进行手术切除。使用O型臂计算机导航系统协助前后截骨切口对接,以确保骶骨肿瘤的安全切缘完整切除。在此手术过程中,计算机辅助导航与IONM一起使用,以帮助手术团队进行充分的肿瘤切除。未出现与使用O型臂或导航系统相关的并发症。计算机导航引导在骶骨肿瘤切除术中既有用又安全。它提高了骶骨肿瘤安全切缘整块切除的准确性,同时保护神经功能并减少复发。
