STUDY DESIGN: A case report. OBJECTIVE: Presentation of transpedicular approach for endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) in a patient with thoracic spine metastases from lung cancer with incomplete paralysis. BACKGROUND: The spine is the most colonized site for tumor bone metastases, and approximately 5-10% of patients develop symptoms of nerve and spinal cord compression. Traditional open surgery is the best management strategy to address patients' neurological symptoms, but its demanding physical status and low clinical benefit in end-stage patients limit its application in spinal metastases. With the accumulation of experience and technological breakthroughs in ESS, this technology has become an ideal choice for palliative treatment of patients with end-stage spinal metastases. METHOD: A patient with thoracic spine metastasis from lung cancer with incomplete paralysis was treated with ESS using a transpedicular approach. RESULTS: A patient with lung cancer thoracic spine metastasis with incomplete paralysis was unable to tolerate traditional open surgery due to her physical condition, so our team used the strategy of spinal endoscopic decompression with tumor resection via transpedicular approach to treat him. After the operation, the patient's pain and neurological symptoms were significantly relieved, and he regained the ability to walk on himself within two months. Moreover, the technique prolonged his survival while safeguarding his quality of life. CONCLUSION: ESS is ideal for patients with end-stage spinal metastases.
研究设计:病例报告。 目的:介绍经椎弓根入路的内镜脊柱手术(ESS)在一名患有肺癌胸椎转移且不完全瘫痪患者中的应用。 背景:脊柱是肿瘤骨转移最常累及的部位,约5% - 10%的患者会出现神经和脊髓压迫症状。传统开放手术是解决患者神经症状的最佳治疗策略,但其对患者身体状况要求较高,且在终末期患者中的临床获益较低,限制了其在脊柱转移瘤中的应用。随着ESS经验的积累和技术突破,这项技术已成为终末期脊柱转移瘤患者姑息治疗的理想选择。 方法:一名患有肺癌胸椎转移且不完全瘫痪的患者采用经椎弓根入路的ESS进行治疗。 结果:一名患有肺癌胸椎转移且不完全瘫痪的患者因身体状况无法耐受传统开放手术,因此我们团队采用经椎弓根入路的脊柱内镜减压并切除肿瘤的策略对其进行治疗。术后,患者的疼痛和神经症状明显缓解,两个月内恢复了自主行走能力。此外,该技术延长了他的生存期,同时保障了他的生活质量。 结论:ESS对于终末期脊柱转移瘤患者是理想的治疗方法。
