Project description:ObjectiveCervicothoracic scoliosis will cause severe deformities in the early stage, and its structure is complex and the surgical methods are varied. The purpose of this research is to explore the indication and analyze the corrective effect of the two different posterior approach surgical strategies, including correction with fusion and hemivertebra osteotomy, for congenital cervicothoracic scoliosis deformities in children and adolescents.MethodsThis was a retrospective study of 21 patients with cervicothoracic scoliosis who received surgical treatment from January 2010 to June 2020, including nine cases of posterior hemivertebra osteotomy and fusion surgery and 12 cases of posterior correction and fusion alone. The Cobb angle, T1 tilt angle, clavicular angle, neck tilt angle, radiographic shoulder height, sagittal vertical axis, coronal balance distance, and local kyphosis angle were measured preoperatively, postoperatively, and at the last follow-up. Posterior approach hemivertebra resection or correction with fusion surgery was adopted based on the different individual characteristics of deformity such as main curve Cobb angle, growth potential, and flexibility. Patients were divided into two groups (osteotomy group and nonosteotomy group) according to whether a hemivertebra osteotomy was performed, and the corrective results in the two groups were compared. Paired-sample t tests or independent-sample t tests were used.ResultsThe median follow-up after surgery of the 21 patients was 36 months (range, 18-72 months). The Cobb angle was corrected from 45.81° ± 14.23° preoperatively to 10.48° ± 5.56° postoperatively (correction rate, 77.78% ± 8.93%). The T1 tilt angle decreased from 15.26° ± 7.08° preoperatively to 3.33° ± 2.14° postoperatively (correction rate,73.42% ± 21.86%). The radiographic shoulder height was corrected from 1.13 ± 0.74 cm preoperatively to 0.52 ± 0.42 cm postoperatively (correction rate, 39.51% ± 35.65%). The clavicular angle improved from 2.52° ± 1.55° preoperatively to 1.16° ± 0.96° postoperatively (correction rate, 47.18% ± 35.84%). No significant differences were found at the last follow-up (p > 0.05). The Cobb angle of the main curve, T1 tilt angle, clavicular angle, cervical tilt angle, and shoulder height difference were similar in the two groups (p > 0.05).ConclusionsPosterior approach hemivertebra resection or correction with fusion surgery can be used in the treatment of congenital cervicothoracic scoliosis with satisfactory results, and the surgeon can make an individualized surgical plan according to individual characteristics of deformity.

Project description:BackgroundSurgical management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can be performed using standard posterior spinal fusion (PSF) or with a posterior minimally invasive approach. Minimally invasive scoliosis surgery (MISS) has several theoretical advantages, such as less tissue dissection, less blood loss, and earlier recovery. However, the difference in safety and effectiveness between MISS and PSF still needs to be clarified. This updated meta-analysis aimed to compare the outcomes of MISS and standard PSF for the management of AIS.MethodsA comprehensive literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library without time restriction was performed to identify relevant studies. MISS and PSF were compared in terms of radiographic parameters, estimated blood loss (EBL), blood transfusion rate, operative time (ORT), length of hospital stay (LOS), overall Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) score, postoperative pain, and complication rate.ResultsA total of seven studies comprising 767 patients (329 MISS and 438 PSF) with AIS were included. MISS and PSF yielded comparable deformity correction at the last follow-up. There were no significant differences in the overall SRS-22 scores or complication rates between the groups. Nevertheless, greater restoration of thoracic kyphosis (WMD, 2.98; 95% CI 0.58 to 5.37, P = 0.015), less EBL (WMD, -218.76; 95% CI -256.41 to -181.11, P < 0.001), a lower blood transfusion rate (RR, 0.31; 95% CI 0.20 to 0.48, P < 0.001), a shorter LOS (WMD, -1.48; 95% CI -2.48 to -0.48, P = 0.004), less postoperative pain (WMD, 0.57; 95% CI 0.16 to 0.98, P = 0.006), and a longer ORT (WMD, 84.85; 95% CI 33.30 to 136.40, P = 0.001) were observed in the MISS group.ConclusionDespite its inherent technical challenges, MISS is a feasible and effective alternative to standard PSF for AIS patients with moderate and flexible curves. MISS was associated with adequate deformity correction, better restoration of sagittal alignment, less EBL, fewer transfusions, shorter LOS, and better pain management compared to PSF. Further research is required to determine the detailed indications for the MISS procedure.
