Abstract:
Objectives:To systematically evaluate the effects of spinal osteotomy and spinal cord blood flow(SCBF)on the spinal cord,and to explore the safe range of osteotomy.Methods:The relevant research liter-atures on spinal osteotomy shortening and SCBF in CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,PubMed,Cochrane Library,EM-BASE and CBM databases published before May 2024 were searched by computer.Two researchers indepen-dently conducted literature screening and extracted data(research design,sample size,and outcome indicators).The quality of the included literatures was evaluated by using the improved Jadad score scale and Newcastle-Ottawa scale(NOS)score.The Revman 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis.Results:A total of 8 litera-tures were included,and the risk of the included literatures mainly came from the allocation hiding and out-come blind methods after evaluated with the Cochrane risk bias assessment tool;The Jadad scale scores of the 6 randomized controlled studies and the NOS scores of the 2 cohort studies were all ≥ 5.A total of 170 subjects were included,including 91 dogs,50 rabbits,and 29 clinical patients;In the animal experiments of dogs,the SCBF increased when the spinal vertebrae were shortened by 2/4 compared with 1/3 or 1/4[OR=-24.10,95％CI(-35.96,-12.23),Z=3.98,P＜0.0001];The SCBF in dogs decreased when the spinal vertebrae were shortened by 2/3 or 3/4 compared with 2/4[OR=44.63,95％CI(19.16,70.09),Z=3.43,P=0.0006];Spinal cord evoked potentials(SCEP)was significantly abnormal when spinal vertebrae shortening was 2/3 or 3/4 compared with 1/3 or 1/4[OR=0.03,95％CI(0.00,0.21),Z=3.55,P=0.004];The dural sac tortuous angle in-creased significantly when the spinal vertebrae shortening in rabbits was more than 2/4[OR=53.51,95％CI(17.92,89.10),Z=2.95,P=0.003],which led to a sharp decrease in SCBF,and the difference was statistically significant.In clinical studies,the SCBF after spinal vertebrae shortening of less than 2/4,that was,about 2/4 of the resection space,was slightly higher than that after vertebral column resection(VCR)[OR=43.81,95％CI(20.40,67.21),Z=3.67,P=0.002],and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions:In animal ex-periments in dogs and rabbits and clinical studies,spinal vertebrae shortening of less than 2/4 is the safe range of osteotomy;In the animal experiment of dogs,when the shortening is more than 2/3 or 3/4,it will lead to a sharp decrease in SCBF and cause obvious SCEP abnormalities.
