This study aimed to explore the feasibility of Phase I percutaneous spinal endoscopy with a 270° single incision in the ventral and dorsal dura mater for decompression treatment of thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS). Phase I percutaneous spinal endoscopy with a two-path (posterior and posterolateral approaches) single incision with a 270° decompression was performed in four cases of TSS with compression in the ventral and dorsal dura mater. The affected intervertebral space was located during the surgery, and the ossified ligamentum flavum in the ventral and dorsal dura mater was removed via laminectomy, which formed a decompression space in the thoracic cord. Next, posterolateral transforaminal expansion and plasty were performed to remove the ventral intervertebral disk. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, thoracic spinal cord function score of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) (11-point method), and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores were used to evaluate the clinical efficacy. No dura mater or thoracic nerve injury occurred during the surgery. The symptoms of weakness in the lower extremities improved after the surgery. The postoperative magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography examinations showed compression removal and dura mater bulging. The postoperative VAS, JOA, and ODI scores improved compared with the preoperative scores. Two surgical trajectories, posterior and posterolateral approaches, were established by a single incision using thoracic spinal canal decompression with Phase I 270° single-incision percutaneous spinal endoscopy. The posterior approach was performed mainly by translaminar unilateral fenestration and bilateral decompression in the ventral and dorsal dura mater, whereas the posterolateral approach was performed by decompression in the ventral dura mater to the midline of the vertebrae. This surgical method could be applied as a safe and feasible minimally invasive treatment for TSS with compression on both the ventral and dorsal dura mater.
本研究旨在探讨经皮脊柱内镜下 270°单切口在腹背硬脊膜双侧入路治疗胸椎管狭窄症(TSS)的可行性。对 4 例腹背硬脊膜受压 TSS 患者采用后路及后外侧入路双通道 270°单切口行经皮脊柱内镜一期减压术,术中定位病变节段,行椎板切除咬除腹背硬脊膜内骨化黄韧带,形成脊髓减压空间,再行后外侧经椎间孔扩大成型,切除腹侧椎间盘。采用视觉模拟评分(VAS)、日本矫形外科学会(JOA)胸脊髓功能评分(11 分法)、Oswestry 功能障碍指数(ODI)评分评估临床疗效。手术过程中未出现硬脊膜或胸神经损伤。术后下肢无力症状改善,术后磁共振成像和 CT 检查显示减压充分,硬脊膜膨出。术后 VAS、JOA、ODI 评分较术前均有改善。一期 270°单切口经皮脊柱内镜下胸椎椎管减压术,采用单一切口建立后路和后外侧入路 2 种手术入路。后路主要采用经椎板单侧开窗双侧腹背硬脊膜减压,后外侧入路主要采用腹侧硬脊膜中线至椎体减压。该手术方法可作为一种安全可行的微创治疗方案,适用于腹背硬脊膜受压的 TSS。
