Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the perioperative clinical outcomes of en bloc resection and anterior column reconstruction for thoracolumbar spinal tumors. Methods: This study conducted a retrospective analysis of prospective data collection of 86 consecutive patients, including 40 males and 46 females, with an average age of 39 years (ranged from 10 to 71 years). There were 35 cases of a malignant primary tumor,42 cases of an aggressive benign tumor, and nine cases of metastases. The main lesions were located in 65 cases of thoracic spine, 17 cases of lumbar spine, and 4 cases of thoracolumbar spine. Tumors involved one level in 45 patients, two levels in 12 patients, three levels in 21 patients, four levels in five patients, five levels in two patients, and six levels in one patient. Results: According to the Weinstein-Boriani-Biagini surgical staging system, all patients achieved en bloc resections, including 74 cases of total en bloc spondylectomy and 12 cases of sagittal resections. The mean surgical time was 559 min (210–1208 min), and the mean total blood loss was 1528 ml (260–5500 ml). A total of 122 complications were observed in 62(72.1%) patients, of which 18(20.9%) patients had 25 major complications and one patient (1.2%) died of complications. The combined approach (P = 0.002), total blood loss (P = 0.003), staged surgery (P = 0.004), previous surgical history (P = 0.045), the number of involved vertebrae (P = 0.021) and lumbar location (P = 0.012) were statistically significant risk factors for major complication. When all above risk factors were incorporated in multivariate analysis, only the combined approach (P = 0.052) still remained significant. Conclusions: En bloc resection and anterior column reconstruction is accompanied by a high incidence of complications, especially when a combined approach is necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
