Dura Vibration Difference Between PTP Bone Resection and Upper Facet Joints En Bolc Resection in Posterior Thoracic Decompression.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In thoracic posterior decompression surgery, the traditional pedicle-to-pedicle (PTP) approach may have limitations in achieving complete decompression and may also pose potential risks of injury to the spinal cord. Through comparative analysis with the PTP method, the study explored the safety of posterior thoracic decompression via the pedicle-ossification tunnel (POT), aiming to provide a more scientific and safer clinical surgical pathway selection.

Methods

Combined with preoperative image data and intraoperative operation images, the POT decompression method was deeply analyzed. In this study, the thoracic vertebrae of sheep were taken as experimental specimens. The water sac was placed close to the joint level of the articular process to simulate the spinal c
