Abstract

Background

The uniportal bichannel and dual-media spinal endoscopy (UBD) system is an original endoscopic system developed by the authors. This technical note describes a single-center case series of elderly patients with thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK) with osteoporosis treated with the assistance of the UBD system.

Methods

This article presents a retrospective case series including 4 patients with TLK with osteoporosis treated with assistance of the UBD system. Demographic, clinical, imaging, and procedure-related data are reported.

Results

All 4 patients achieved satisfactory correction of TLK. The regional kyphosis angle and TLK improved significantly in the patients, correcting from 24.73 ± 6.51° to 5.46 ± 2.16° (P < 0.001) and 29.28 ± 4.02° to 6.33 ± 3.13° (P < 0.001). The patients showed an improvement in visual analog scale and Oswestry Disability Index scores postoperatively (P < 0.001). No complications were observed.

Conclusions

This study suggests that use of the UBD system to assist in treatment of elderly patients with rigid TLK with osteoporosis is a safe and effective approach.

期刊介绍： World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. The journal''s mission is to: -To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care. -To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide. -To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients. Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
