The treatment of vertebral benign and malignant tumors with percutaneous vertebroplasty / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective Vertebral benign and malignant tumors were intractable in the treatment. Previous treatment methods had their own deficiency. The introduction of percutaneous vertebroplasty brought a breakthrough in the treatment. The initial experience of the treatment of vertebral malignant and benign tumors with percutaneous vertebraplasty was analyzed in this clinical research.Methods and materials The treatment of seven cases of vertebral hemangiomas and 11 cases of vertebral malignant tumors were reported. Unipedicular or bipedicular approaches were used in 17 cases, and in one case of cervical hemangioma, the cervical anterior-lateral approach was adopted. 15-20% of bone cement was mixed and injected into the vertebral lesions and made to distribute and cast in the lesions. Results Good results were got in all the 18 cases. After 0.5-7ml of cement was injected into the lesions. The complete relief was got in 10 cases and sub-complete relief was achieved in 6 cases and medial relief was got in two cases. One to nine months of postoperative follow-ups found no recurrences.Conclusions The treatment of vertebral benign and malignant tumors with percutaneous vertebraplasty was mini-invasive, safe, and effective.
