背景:在成人脊柱神经外科手术中,出镜已成为一种有效的显微镜,可提供改善的手术视野可见性和外科医生的人体工程学。然而,结果数据和可行性在儿科文献中代表性不足.我们提供了最大的病例系列,旨在评估接受各种外镜辅助脊柱手术的儿科患者的手术和临床结果。
方法:对2020-2023年由三名高级外科医师在一个机构使用外切镜进行的所有连续儿科(年龄<18岁)脊柱手术进行了回顾性回顾。人口统计,对临床和手术结果进行回顾和分析。
结果:对89例特殊患者进行了96例镜辅助小儿脊柱手术,其中男性41人(42.7%)。手术的平均年龄为12(±5.3)岁。脊髓松脱(55.8%)是最常见的手术。所有手术的总平均手术时间为155(±86)分钟,平均估计失血量(EBL)为18(±41)mL。平均住院时间(LOS)为5.4(±6.5)天。该队列中有14例(14.6%)患者出现并发症。在最后的后续行动中,64例(83.1%)有症状的患者报告神经系统症状改善。
结论:在各种小儿脊柱手术中使用出镜可获得可接受的平均手术时间,EBL,LOS,和神经症状改善率。外镜似乎是小儿神经外科脊柱手术的有效选择。
The
exoscope has emerged as an efficacious microscope in adult spinal neurosurgery providing improved operative field visibility and surgeon ergonomics. However, outcome data and feasibility are underrepresented in the pediatric literature. We present the largest
case series aimed at assessing operative and clinical outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing various
exoscope-assisted spinal surgeries.
A retrospective review was conducted on all consecutive pediatric (age <18 years) spinal surgeries performed with the use of an exoscope by 3 senior surgeons at a single institution from 2020-2023. Demographics and clinical and operative outcomes were reviewed and analyzed.
Ninety-six
exoscope-assisted pediatric spine surgeries were performed on 89 unique patients, 41 (42.7%) of which were male. The mean age at surgery was 12 (±5.3) years. Spinal cord detethering (55.8%) was the most common procedure performed. The overall mean operative time for all procedures was 155 (±86) minutes, and the mean estimated blood loss was 18 (±41) mL. The mean length of stay was 5.4 (±6.5) days. There were 14 (14.6%) patients with complications in this cohort. At final follow-up, 64 (83.1%) of symptomatic patients reported neurologic symptom improvement.
Using the exoscope in a variety of pediatric spinal surgeries resulted in an acceptable average operative time, estimated blood loss, length of stay, and rate of neurologic symptom improvement. The
exoscope appears to be an efficacious option for pediatric neurosurgical spinal procedures.
