Percutaneous Endoscopic Transforaminal Approach in the Treatment of Adolescent Lumbar Disc Herniation Complicated With Scoliosis:Report of 28 Cases
Objective To investigate the efficacy of percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal approach in the treatment of adolescent lumbar disc herniation(ALDH)complicated with scoliosis.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on clinical data of 28 cases of ALDH complicated with scoliosis from January 2018 to June 2021.Percutaneous endoscopic discectomy through the intervertebral foramen approach was performed.The patients were placed in a prone position.The percutaneous puncture was carried out to insert into the working channel,and the protruding nucleus pulposus was visually removed under the intervertebral foramen to relieve nerve root compression and complete decompression.Results The operation time was 45-75 min,with an average of(60.6±9.3)min.No surgery-related complications such as incision infection or nerve injury were found.All the 28 patients were followed up for 14-30 months,with an average of(20.1±5.1)months.The waist Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),leg VAS,Oswestry Dysfunction Index(ODI),Cobb angle,center sacral vertical line-C7 plumb line(CSVL-C7 PL),and sagittal vertical axis(SVA)were significantly lower at 1 month after operation and at the last follow-up than those before operation,with statistically significant differences(all P =0.000).The waist VAS,leg VAS,ODI,Cobb angle,CSVL-C7 PL,and SVA at the last follow-up were significantly lower than those at 1 month after operation,with statistically significant difference(all P<0.05).During the follow-ups,symptoms recurred in 2 patients,and fenestration of the nucleus pulposus was performed,which relieved the symptoms.The modified MacNab standard efficacy evaluation at the last follow-up showed excellent in 22 cases,good in 4 cases,and fair in 2 cases,with an excellent and good rate of 92.9%(26/28).Conclusion Percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal approach in the treatment of ALDH complicated with scoliosis can relieve clinical symptoms and improve scoliosis,the clinical effect being satisfactory.
