老年人脊柱结核的围手术期处理

目的探讨老年人脊柱结核外科治疗的围手术期处理经验。方法回顾分析行手术治疗的44例老年人脊柱结核的病例资料。年龄61～86岁,平均年龄71.4岁。合并截瘫者23例。15例行经前路病灶清除、植骨、前路内固定术;5例选择经前路清除病灶、植骨、后路内固定术;10例行采用经肋横突病灶清除、椎间植骨,后路椎弓根系统内固定术;11例行经后路病灶清除、植骨和内固定术;3例行CT引导下经皮穿刺置管引流术。随访时间1.5～7.0年,平均3.7年。总结住院期间合并症、并发症及其处置和手术疗效。结果术前有内科合并症者35例。术后全身并发症22症次,主要包括心功能不全、心律失常及肺部感染等,1例术后肺部感染死亡,其余均安全度过围手术期。局部并发症23例次,主要包括窦道形成、髂骨供骨区疼痛及椎弓根螺钉松动等。术后1.5年、2.5年因心肌梗死及脑出血各死亡1例,余皆生存,病灶治愈。合并截瘫者完全恢复13例,部分恢复6例。结论老年脊柱结核患者可选择手术治疗,积极的围手术期评估和正确处理围手术期合并症是老年人脊柱结核手术成功的重要保证。
