Frontiers | Clinical Efficacy of Unilateral Laminotomy for Bilateral Decompression (ULBD) in the Treatment of Adjacent Segment Disease after Lumbar Fusion
ObjectiveTo assess the clinical impact of unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression (ULBD) in managing patients with adjacent vertebrae following lumbar fusion.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 21 patients, with a mean age of 67.4 years, who underwent ULBD for adjacent vertebra disease at our department from January 2021 to November 2023. We reviewed demographic data, surgical techniques, imaging studies, and patient-reported outcomes. The study compared Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scores, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores, Short Form-36 (SF-36) scores, and imaging outcomes before surgery, immediately post-surgery, and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months post-surgery.ResultsEvaluation of 21 patients with adjacent segment disease (ASD) (13 males, 8 females; mean age 67.42 years) was performed with follow-ups at various intervals post-surgery. Postoperative VAS, NRS, JOA, and SF-36 scores showed significant improvements compared to preoperative scores. Immediately after surgery, there were significant improvements in NRS score (2.76 ± 0.70 vs. 3.71 ± 0.85, P < 0.05) and JOA score (15.38 ± 1.02 vs. 9.29 ± 1.01, P < 0.05) compared to preoperative scores. Similarly, at 12 months post-surgery, significant improvements were observed in NRS score (1.52 ± 0.51 vs. 3.71 ± 0.85, P < 0.05) and JOA score (25.0 ± 1.10 vs. 9.29 ± 1.01, P < 0.05) compared to preoperative scores. The clinical satisfaction rate was 95.0% among all patients, with postoperative imaging examinations revealing a significant decompression effect. No complications were reported among the surgical patients.ConclusionsThis study suggests that endoscopic ULBD can be a safe and effective technique for managing symptomatic ASD, providing satisfactory clinical outcomes for patients with ASD. Endoscopic ULBD may serve as an alternative treatment option for ASD with lumbar stenosis.
期刊介绍:
Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.
Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.
Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.
The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
