Abstract:
Objectives:To compare the early clinical effects between the two-dimensional(2D)navigation and X-ray fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy(PETD)in the treatment of lumbar disc hemiation(LDH).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 80 LDH patients who were treated with PETD from January 2022 to December 2022.40 patients were treated with 2D navigation-guided PETD(2D navigation group),including 24 males and 16 females,aged 28-55 years(40.5±7.7 years);10 cases were of L3/4,18 cases were of L4/5,and 12 cases were of L5/S1.The other 40 patients were treated with X-ray fluoroscopy-guided PETD(X-ray fluoroscopy group),including 22 males and 18 females,aged 28-54 years(41.7±7.7 years);7 cases were of L3/4,19 cases were of L4/5,and 14 cases were of L5/S1.There were no statistical differences in age,gender,and surgical segment between the two groups(P＞0.05).The patients were followed up for 11-16 months(13.3±1.2 months).The operation time,intraoperative bleeding volume,intraopera-tive fluoroscopy times,and complications of the two groups were analyzed.Visual analogue scale(VAS)scores of leg pain were evaluated before surgery,on 3d after operation,and at 12 months after surgery,and Os-westry disability index(ODI)was evaluated before surgery and at 1 month and 12 months after surgery.The clinical efficacy was evaluated using the modified MacNab efficacy evaluation criteria at 12 months after surgery.Results:All the patients successfully underwent the operation.The operation time in the 2D naviga-tion group was 40.6±5.4min,the intraoperative bleeding volume was 10.4±2.1mL,and the fluoroscopy times were 2.4±0.5;The operation time in the X-ray fluoroscopy group was 58.7±4.0min,the intraoperative bleeding volume was 11.3±2.4mL,and the fluoroscopy times were 10.6±4.0.The operation time was less and fluo-roscopy times were fewer in the 2D navigation group than those in the X-ray fluoroscopy group,and the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was no statistical difference between the two groups in in-traoperative bleeding(P＞0.05).There were 2 cases in the 2D navigation group and 3 cases in the X-ray fluo-roscopy group occurred short-term postoperative numbness,and the incidence was not statistically different be-tween groups(P＞0.05).The VAS scores of leg pain and ODI in both groups at various time points after surgery were significantly lower than those before surgery,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The VAS score of leg pain in the 2D navigation group was lower than that in the X-ray fluoroscopy group on 3d after surgery,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences between the two groups in VAS scores of leg pain and ODI at other time points during follow-up(P＞0.05).The final follow-up modified MacNab efficacy evaluation:36 cases were excellent,3 cases were good,and 1 case was fair in the 2D navigation group,and the excellent and good rate was 97.5％(39/40);30 cases were excellent,8 cases were good,and 2 cases were fair in the X-ray fluoroscopy group,and the ex-cellent and good rate was 95％(38/40),there was no statistical difference in the excellent and good rate be-tween the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusions:Both 2D navigation and X-ray fluoroscopy-guided PETD can achieve good clinical results in treating LDH,and 2D navigation guided PETD needs shorter operation time and fewer fluoroscopy times.
