Surgical site infection (SSI) results in high morbidity and mortality patients undergoing spinal fusion. Using intravenous antibiotics anesthesia induction reduces the rate of postoperative infection, but it is not common practice to use them topically, despite recent reports that this procedure helps reduce infection. The objective study was determine whether topical vancomycin SSI thoracolumbar
Resumo Objetivo Comparar os resultados clínicos entre tratamentos conservador (CS) e cirúrgico (CXS) das fraturas A3 A4 sem déficit neurológico. Métodos Estudo prospectivo observacional de paciente com toracolombares tipo A4. Esses pacientes foram separados grupos avaliados sequencialmente através da escala numérica dor (NRS), do questionário incapacidade Roland-Morris (RMDQ), EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) trabalho Denis (DWS) até 2,5 anos acompanhamento. Resultados Ambos apresentaram melhora...
ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the epidemiology of patients with thoracolumbar spine fracture submitted to surgery at Hospital Cristo Redentor and related costs. Methods: Prospective epidemiological study between July 2014 August 2015 indication surgery. The variables analyzed were sex, age, cost hospitalization, fractured levels, levels arthrodesis, surgical site infection, UTI or BCP, spinal cord injury, etiology, length stay, procedure time, visual analog scale (VAS) . Results:...
ABSTRACT Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common disease in medical practice, with high costs of care, long-term disability, and worsening quality life. Demographic case series studies are important for understanding diseases’ natural history associated risk factors. Analyze the clinical demographic characteristics 325 LDH operated on neurosurgery service southern Brazil. This study enrolled patients lumbar who underwent surgery. Clinical epidemiological data were retrieved from records...
ABSTRACT Objective: Spondylodiscitis is still a frequent pathology among neurosurgical services, and its correct treatment involves infectious, neurological orthopedic goals. The authors describe the protocol report diagnostic therapeutic results after implementation. Methods: A prospective prognostic study (Level I) including patients with primary spondylodiscitis treated in Neurosurgical Service of Cristo Redentor Hospital from January 2014 to March 2018. Demographic, spine, infectious...
Background: The medical literature suggests that facet dislocations (FDs) must be managed surgically, even in the absence of spinal cord injury. In fact, there is no standard guideline for managing FD cases and whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should utilized optimizing treatment planning. Methods: Fifteen were evaluated twice by nine spine surgeons. first assessment included computed tomography (CT) images only. Secondarily, original CT studies supplemented with MRI. each case,...
BACKGROUND: Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare, benign primary bone tumor. The cervical spine an uncommon site for this tumor, with only 10 reported cases to date and none involving the first vertebra (C1). CASE REPORT: Female patient, 25-year-old monozygotic female twin, presented pain. Radiographic imaging demonstrated contrast-enhanced, right-sided lytic lesion of insufflated type in C1, punched-out appearance extending anterior arch. A postero-lateral posterior approach were performed...
Abstract Background To describe success and failure (S&F) after lumbar spine surgery in terms equally understandable across the entire health ecosystem. Methods Back leg pain disability were prospectively recorded before up to 12 months procedure. Satisfaction was using a Likert scale. Initially, patients classified as satisfied or unsatisfied. Optimal satisfaction/unsatisfaction cutoff values for estimated with ROC curves. Satisfied unsatisfied groups underwent second subdivision into...
Introduction Odontoid fractures (OF) are frequent in the trauma population, and there is no universally accepted single method of management. The objective this study was to evaluate epidemiology management type II OF Latin America treated either with rigid cervical orthosis or surgery. Patients Methods A total 83 patients conservatively by surgery were enrolled retrospective study. Medical charts, imaging studies, outcomes analyzed pretreatment period at last medical evaluation. assessed...
Abstract The technique described by Jannetta uses Teflon “turfs” (polytetrafluoroethylene). With the technological advancement of materials it is increasingly harder to find in market. author describes a which portion vascular prosthesis made polyester (FlowNit Bioseal®) manufactured JOTEC® Gmbh reference 35BI1206. use this seems be an effective alternative for intracranial neurovascular decompression. One its advantages having circumferential format, provides greater stability and safety...
Abstract Study question Is it feasible to carry out a large-scale multi-national Assisted Reproductive Technology Real World Data (RWD) collection prospectively, encompassing collected patient and treatment cycle information? Summary answer The creation of an international database collecting RWD is feasible. quality quantity the data allow them be used for research purposes. What known already Evidence (RWE) may help clinical questions that are relevant broad population patients. For 40...
The aim is to present a rare case of ligamentum flavum hematoma in the lumbar region, discuss its physiopathology and treatment review literature. A woman aged 68 presented with neurogenic claudication due degenerative spondylolisthesis that evolved into sudden worsening cauda equina syndrome. magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) showed signs degeneration spine, narrow spinal canal from L2 S1, anterolisthesis L4 L5 an expansive lesion hyperintense on T1-weighted hypointense T2-weighted images...
