Application of spinal endoscopy in spinal metastatic tumor
Objective To investigate the application effect of spinal endoscopy in spinal metastatic tumors.Method A total of 30 cases of malignant tumors with spinal metastasis tumors were divided into intervention group(15 cases,lum-bar foraminoscopic surgery)and control group(15 cases,open surgery)by random number table method.The periopera-tive parameters were compared between the two groups.Visual analogue scale(VAS)score and Oswestry disability index(ODI)score were compared before surgery,3 days after surgery,7 days after surgery,14 days after surgery and 1 month after discharge.Result The intraoperative blood loss in the intervention group was significantly less than that in the con-trol group,and postoperative hospital stay in the intervention group was significantly shorter than that in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01).VAS and ODI scores of two groups at different time were statistically significant(P<0.01).Conclusion Spinal endoscopy can reduce intraoperative blood loss,shorten postopera-tive hospital stay,relieve pain and improve lumbar function in patients with spinal metastatic tumors.
