Efficacy and safety of en-bloc resection versus debulking for spinal tumor: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to consolidate the existing evidence regarding the comparison between en-bloc resection surgery and debulking surgery for spinal tumors, including both primary and metastatic tumors.

Materials and methods

The databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane database, Web of Science, Scopus, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chongqing VIP Database (VIP), and Wan Fang Database was carried out and included all studies that directly compared en-bloc resection surgery with debulking surgery for spinal tumors in patients through March 2024.
