Anterior and posterior instrumentation and fusion of thoracolumbar scoliosis due to myelomeningocele.
Twenty-three patients with severe paralytic thoracolumbar scoliosis due to a myelomeningocele were treated by a two-stage procedure. Before operation the mean scoliosis was 98 degrees: after the first-stage procedure, an anterior spinal fusion and correction with Dwyer instrumentation, this was reduced to a mean of 45 degrees. Approximately two weeks later a posterior spinal fusion with Harring...
متن کاملUse of tranexamic acid for controlling bleeding in thoracolumbar scoliosis surgery with posterior instrumentation☆
OBJECTIVE Scoliosis surgery involves major blood loss and frequently requires blood transfusion. The cost and risks involved in using allogeneic blood have motivated investigation of methods capable of reducing patients' bleeding during operations. One of these methods is to use antifibrinolytic drugs, and tranexamic acid is among these. The aim of this study was to assess the use of this drug ...

STUDY DESIGN This is descriptive analytical study. PURPOSE The present study aims at comparing treatment results found between the two groups comprising of patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion using thoracic pedicle screws and the ones who underwent combined anterior-posterior method, respectively. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE There was controversy about surgical techniques including an...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of Combined (First Anterior, Then Posterior) Versus Only Posterior Approach for Treating Severe Scoliosis
STUDY DESIGN A retrospective, one center, institutional review board approved study. OBJECTIVE Two methods of operative treatments were compared in order to evaluate whether a two-stage approach is justified for correction of bigger idiopathic scoliosis curves. Two stage surgery, combined anterior approach in first operation and posterior instrumentation and correction in the second operation...
متن کاملSpontaneous Thoracic Curve Correction After Selective Posterior Fusion of Thoracolumbar/Lumbar Curves in Lenke 5C Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Selective fusion of the thoracolumbar/lumbar (TL/L) curve is an effective method for the treatment of Lenke type 5C curves. Several studies have demonstrated that spontaneous correction of the thoracic curve does indeed occur. However, how this correction occurs after isolated posterior segmental instrumentation of the structural lumbar curve has not been well described. The aim of this study w...
