目的：探讨一期后前联合入路治疗老年人脊髓型颈椎病的疗效。方法2008年1月至2011年1月，我科接受一期后前联合入路治疗脊髓型颈椎病的老年患者35例进行回顾性分析，采用日本矫形协会(JOA)评分及Nurcik分级对患者手术前后神经功能进行评价。后路手术均采用单开门椎管扩大成形术，前路手术采用椎间盘摘除Cage植骨融合术或椎体次全切钛笼植骨融合术。结果35例随访6～36个月，平均18个月。椎体次全切8例，单间隙椎间盘摘除Cage植骨融合术17例，2个间隙椎间盘摘除CAGE植骨融合术10例。手术历时180～300min，平均245min。出血100～1600ml，平均505ml。术前JOA评分(9.34±2.40)分，术后(13.11±1.90)分，平均改善率为47%，二者间差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05)。Nurcik分级，除1例术后仍为V级外，其余均有I～III级的提高。前路植骨均在术后4～9个月融合，未见假体移位、下沉；25例随访时进行了CT复查，未见后路再关门；30例术后进行了颈椎MRI检查，显示脊髓减压充分。术后发生吞咽时疼痛8例，一过性神经功能障碍3例，声音嘶哑1例，深静脉血栓1例，后路切口感染1例。结论脊髓型颈椎病的老年患者常合并较多的系统性疾病，术后并发症较多。一期后前联合入路是治疗老年人脊髓型颈椎病的有效术式。“,”Objective To investigate the curative effects of one-stage combined posteroanterior approach for cervical spondylotic myelopathy ( CSM ) in elderly patients. Methods The data of 35 elderly patients who underwent one-stage combined posteroanterior approach for CSM in our institute from January 2008 to January 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. The Japanese Orthopedic Association ( JOA ) score and Nurick grading were employed to evaluate the neurological status of patients before and after the surgery. Single open-door laminoplasty was used in the posterior approach, and meanwhile interbody fusion with cage after discectomy or with titanium mesh cage after corpectomy were used in the anterior approach. Results All 35 patients were followed up for a mean duration of 18 months. Corpectomy was performed in 8 cases, interbody fusion with cage after single-segment discectomy in 17 cases and interbody fusion with cage after double-segment discectomy in 10 cases. The mean duration of operation was 245 min ( range;180-300 min ). The amount of blood loss was 505 ml on average ( range;100-1600 ml ). The JOA scores were ( 9.34±2.40 ) points and ( 13.11±1.90 ) points before and after the surgery respectively, and the mean improvement rate was 47%, with statistical differences between them. Except for 1 patient of grade V according to the Nurick grading system, all other patients had an improvement from grade I to grade III. Anterior interbody fusion occurred in all cases in 4-9 months postoperatively, without displacement or subsidence of the prostheses. The CT reexamination was performed in 25 cases during the follow-up, which revealed that no posterior reclosing occurred. And the cervical MRI was performed in 30 cases postoperatively, which showed that the spine cord was decompressed thoroughly. The postoperative complications were odynophagia in 8 cases, transient neurological deifcits in 3 cases, hoarseness in 1 case, deep venous thrombosis in 1 case and posterior incision infection in 1 case. Conclusions Elderly patients with CSM usually have many systemic diseases and a lot of postoperative complications. One-stage combined posteroanterior approach for CSM in elderly patients is an effective surgical method.
