Percutaneous laser photocoagulation of osteoid osteoma: Assessment of treatment in nine cases
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
ABSTRACT Background: Osteoid osteoma is a benign bony neoplasm and its classic treatment is surgery. In the r ecent decades percutaneous laser therapy was suggested to be replaced by surgery. In this study we have reviewed the results of the first applications of interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) for treatment of osteoid osteoma in Iranian patients. Materials and Methods: In this case series study, we evaluated 9 known cases of osteoid osteoma that were referred for ILP from orthopedic section of Imam Khomeini hospital during 2001 and 2002. Diagnosis was confirmed by plain X-ray, CT, isotope & MR scan. ILP was done by interventional radiologists of medical imaging center. Percutaneous ILP was performed by Nd-Yag laser, using 400-1000 joules energy (according to nidus size) and adjusting on 2 watts power. Results: The procedure was successful in all patients. We had pain relief in 24 hours. Follow up from 5 months to one year showed no recurrence. Conclusion: The procedure is a safe and effective method for patients and could be applied for proper cases.

متن کاملInterstitial laser photocoagulation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma.
We report the results of a prospective study of 23 patients in which interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) was used to treat an osteoid osteoma. ILP is a technique in which tumour tissue is destroyed by direct heating using low-power laser light energy delivered by thin (400 microm) optical fibres which are introduced percutaneously into the tumour under image guidance. Pain was evaluated b...
متن کاملPercutaneous laser photocoagulation of spinal osteoid osteomas under CT guidance.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Spinal osteoid osteomas are rare; when they occur, they are usually treated by surgical or percutaneous excision. The aim of percutaneous interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) of osteoid osteomas under CT guidance is thermal destruction of the nidus using low-power laser energy, thus precluding bone resection and open surgery. METHODS Three cases of spinal osteoid o...
متن کاملTreatment of osteoid osteoma with CT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency thermoablation.
Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor with a male predominance occurring mainly in children and young adults. The most common symptom is intermittent pain that worsens at night and is at least partially relieved by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term effectiveness of computed tomography-guided percutaneous radiofrequency thermoablation in...
متن کاملOsteoid osteoma : a review of treatment by percutaneous radiofrequency ablation
Over the past two decades, ablation techniques have become widely accepted for treating a range of bone and soft tissue tumours. Radiofrequency tissue ablation is now considered the treatment of choice for osteoid osteomas (OO), with guidance on treatment published by The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). OO is a small, solitary, benign skeletal tumour of unknown aet...
متن کاملPercutaneous radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteoma.
Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor. Patients usually require surgical treatment for reliable pain relief. Difficulties with intraoperative localization of the tumor and anatomic locations that carry a high morbidity with en bloc resection complicate open surgery. Various methods have been developed to lessen the invasiveness of surgery including computed tomography-guided percutaneous radio...
