Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the preventive strategy of early post-operative complications of closed spinal dysraphisms in children.MethodsOne hundred and nine children with closed spinal dysraphisms underwent surgery from January 2004 to December 2008,were enrolled in this study.After dural closure,the wound was washed completely with saline to clear the tissue debris to prevent postoperative infection. We routinely made a horizontal incision to prevent postoperative infection. Results After operation,all patients were recovered and were discharged from hospitalNo post-operative complications,including cerebrospinal fluid leakage, wound infection and flap necrosis, were encountered. ConclusionThe sophisticated microsurgical technique and the delicate surgical manipulation is the prerequisite for the prevention of early operational complication of closed spinal dysraphisms in children.
