Abstract

To evaluate the clinical value of percutaneous endoscopic focal cleaning and drainage in the treatment of single-level suppurative spondylitis. The clinical data of 18 patients with single-level suppurative spondylitis treated by percutaneous endoscopic focal cleaning and drainage from June 2014 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 11 males and 7 females, aged from 46 to 75 years old with an average of (58.89±9.46) years. According to the patient's diagnosis and drug sensitivity results to anti-infection therapy after operation. All the patients were followed up for 12 to 24 months with an average of(15.50±3.45) months. Disease control status was evaluated by laboratory examination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) before and after operation. Relief of pain was evaluated using visual analogue scale(VAS). Nerve function was assessed by ASIA classification. Clinical effects were evaluated by Kirkaldy-Willis standard. Spinal stability and recurrence of infection were observed by imaging data. All the operations were successful, and no complication as hematoma, nerve injury, infection, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, sinus formation at the site of tube placement, or mixed infection...Continue Reading
