Clinical Outcomes and Quality of Life in Elderly Patients Treated with a Newly Designed Double Tube Endoscopy for Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Chronic back pain in adults is often a cause of absenteeism from work, limitations in social interactions, and difficulties in performing daily activities. This study aimed to check whether the functioning of everyday activities in elderly patients after neurosurgery improved over time compared to their condition before the procedure and whether there is a connection between fitness, self-esteem, and pain intensity. This was a cross-sectional study carried out using an anonymous survey. This study included patients over 60 years of age from the neurosurgical ward. The following scales were used to assess cognitive functioning, depression, functional status: basic and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), back pain disability (QBPDS), pain intensity, and self-esteem. The level of independence in terms of IADL and QBPDS increased, and the intensity of pain decreased. Surgery reduced pain intensity from 8 ± 0.8 to 6.1 ± 1.4 points. The level of self-esteem (RSES) remained at a low level. The passage of time after neurosurgical treatment has a beneficial effect on reducing pain intensity and increasing independence in life activities. Daily physical activity and rehabilitation are important factors supporting the return to independence.

Цель исследования — сравнительный анализ эффективности использования микрохирургической дискэктомии и минимально инвазивного трансфораминального спондилодеза при лечении грыж межпозвонковых дисков смежного уровня с аномалией пояснично-крестцового перехода позвоночника у пациентов старшей возрастной группы. В исследование были включены 80 пациентов пожилого возраста (старше 60 лет), выделено две группы: 1-я — пациенты (n=39), которым выполняли микрохирургическую дискэктомию; 2-я — пациенты (n=41), прооперированные с использованием минимально инвазивного трансфораминального межтелового спондилодеза, чрескожной транспедикулярной стабилизации (MI-TLIF). Для сравнительного анализа использовали гендерные характеристики (пол, возраст), конституциональные особенности (ИМТ), степень физического статуса по ASA, интраоперационные параметры вмешательств и специфичность послеоперационного ведения пациентов, клинические данные, наличие осложнений. Оценку отдаленных исходов проводили в минимальном катамнезе 3 лет. В результате установлено, что использование MI-TLIF позволяет достичь лучших отдаленных клинических исходов, меньшего числа серьезных осложнений в сравнении с методикой микрохирургической дискэктомии при лечении грыж межпозвонковых дисков смежного уровня с аномалией пояснично-крестцового перехода позвоночника у пациентов старшей возрастной группы. The purpose of the study was a comparative analysis the effectiveness of microsurgical discectomy and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion in the treatment of disk herniation adjacent to the anomaly of the lumbosacral junction segment in elderly patients. The study included 80 elderly patients (over 60 years old), divided into two groups: the 1st — (n=39) who underwent microsurgical discectomy; the 2nd — patients (n=41) operated on using minimally invasive transforaminal interbody fusion and percutaneous transpedicular stabilization (MI-TLIF). For the comparative analysis, we used gender characteristics (gender, age), constitutional characteristics (BMI), degree of physical status according to ASA, intraoperative parameters of interventions and the specificity of postoperative patient management, clinical data, and the presence of complications. Long-term outcomes were assessed at a minimum follow-up of 3 years. As a result, it was found that the use of MI-TLIF allows achieving better long-term clinical outcomes, fewer major complications in comparison with the microsurgical discectomy technique in the treatment of disc herniation adjacent to the anomaly of the lumbosacral junction segment in elderly patients.
