Chilkoti GT, Jain N, Mohta M, Saxena AK. Perioperative concerns in Pott's spine: A review. J Anaesthesiol Clin Pharmacol 2021; 36:443-449. [PMID: 33840921 PMCID: PMC8022046 DOI: 10.4103/joacp.joacp_167_19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2019] [Revised: 10/29/2019] [Accepted: 03/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Pott's disease is the most common granulomatous spine infection caused by tubercle bacilli and is a common site of osseous tuberculosis, accounting for 50–60% of cases. The delay in establishing diagnosis and management results in complications such as spinal cord compression and spinal deformity. The aim of this narrative review is to discuss the perioperative concerns in patients for spine surgery. The literature source for this review was obtained via PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, Cochrane database of systematic reviews, and textbooks until December 2019. On the literature search, we could not retrieve any review article specifically discussing the perioperative concerns of spinal tuberculosis. Therefore, the aim of the present narrative review is to discuss the perioperative concerns of patients for spine surgery along with the specific concerns related to spinal tuberculosis.

Sun D, Zhang ZH, Mei G, Hou TY, Li Y, Xu JZ, Luo F. Comparison of Anterior only and Combined Anterior and Posterior Approach in Treating Lumbosacral Tuberculosis. Sci Rep 2019; 9:18475. [PMID: 31811159 PMCID: PMC6898139 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-53800-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2019] [Accepted: 11/04/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
A combined anterior and posterior (AP) surgical approach is a popular treatment modality of lumbosacral tuberculosis, but it is often traumatic and complicated. The present study aims to find whether the anterior only approach with the ARCH plate system is less invasive than the AP approach in treating lumbosacral tuberculosis. The ARCH plate system is an innovative anatomic lumbosacral anterior multi-directional locking plate system which was devised with due consideration to the anatomic features of the lumbosacral spine and irregular destruction of involved vertebral endplates. In this retrospective study, 32 patients with lumbosacral tuberculosis underwent surgeries via either the anterior only approach (ARCH group, 18 patients) using the ARCH system or the conventional combined anterior and posterior approach (AP group, 14 patients). American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) scores, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), bone union status, ESR, CRP, intervertebral foraminal height between L5 and S1, the vertical height between the anterior upper edge of L5 and S1 vertebral body, lumbosacral angle, and the physiological lordosis of between L1 and S1 from both groups were recorded and compared. All patients were followed up for at least two years. The average duration of operation, blood loss, and length of hospital admission of the ARCH group (154.6 min, 361.1 ml&18.3days) was significantly smaller and shorter(p < 0.001, p < 0.001 & p = 0.008) that those of the AP group(465.5 min, 814.3 ml & 24.6days). The ODI score(p = 0.08, 0.471, 0.06, 0.07, 0.107), the VAS score(p = 0.099, 0.249, 0.073, 0.103, 0.273), the intervertebral foraminal height between L5 and S1(p = 0.826, 0.073, 0.085), L5-S1 height(p = 0.057, 0.234, 0.094), lumbosacral angle(p = 0.052, 0.242, 0.825), and L5-S1 lordosis(p = 0.146, 0.129, 0.053) of both groups showed no significant difference in any of the time points. The anterior only approach using the ARCH system is as effective as the combined anterior and posterior approach and is less traumatic in treating lumbosacral tuberculosis.
