Abstract:
Objective Laminectomy is destructive to bone structure in spine , which affect spinal stability .This article was to investigate the effect on spinal stability after laminectomy in different segments of vertebral plate in the treatment of lumbar intraspinal tumors. Methods Retrospective analysis were made on the data of 143 patients with lumbar intraspinal tumors from January 2009 to June 2012 in 6 hospitals.All the patients underwent laminectomy with no use of inner regular apparatus during the operation .JOA evalu-ation was applied to observe short-term efficacy , while ASIA scale for long-term efficacy .Comparison was made on lumbar spinal stability before operation and in the last visiting . Results From the observation of short-term efficacy, JOA evaluation score rised from (1.12 ± 0.65)to (1.97 ±0.71).Form the observation of long-term efficacy, ASIA scale classification was as follows:4 cases of Grade I, 6 cases of Grade II, 14 cases of Grade III, 53 cases of Grade IV and 66 cases of Grade V.In the following 12-30 months′visiting, all patients were covered.In the last postoperative visiting, patients suffering spinal instability after laminectomy were as follows:2 of 45(one seg-ment), 9 of 47(two segments), 5 of 27 (three segments) and 2 of 14 (four segments).From the observation on the postoperative spinal sta-bility and the segments in laminectomy , spinal stability of one-segment group was significantly higher than that of multi-segment group ( P=0.047).No significant difference exist between the groups of less than 2 segments and more than 3 segments as well as the groups of less than 3 segments and more than 4 segments. Conclusion A single seg-ment laminectomy on lumbar intraspinal tumors showed good postopera-tive spinal stability .But laminectomy in two or more segments implied greater risk of postoperative spinal instability .
