Percutaneous vertebroplasty under local anaesthesia: feasibility regarding patients’ experience

Abstract: • Vertebroplasty is a first-line therapy for consolidation and pain control of vertebral lesions. • This procedure is commonly performed under general anaesthesia or conscious sedation. • We perform vertebroplasty under local anaesthesia and simple analgesic protocol with acceptable experience. • Percutaneous vertebroplasty can safely be proposed in a fragile population.

“…Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is an effective and currently widely used method for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF), the procedure was done usually under local anesthesia, and the patient was well tolerated [1]. Early studies have shown that patients could obtain promising clinical outcome of immediate pain relief and functional improvement, especially among the elderly [2][3][4][5][6].…”

“…Some scholars believed that the lower dose of bone cement can restore the mechanical properties of the fractured vertebral body, and the volume of bone cement has no obvious correlation with the analgesic effect [13]. 1.5 ml bone cement injected in the fractured vertebral body can obtain satisfactory analgesic effect [14]. However, some scholars held the opposite view that bone cement should be injected to make a higher filling rate of the vertebral body, which helps to restore the strength and rigidity of the vertebral body and obtains better clinical outcomes [15].…”

“…Furthermore, the use of local anesthesia avoids the potential complications of sedative and general anesthesia. However, the local anesthetic often results in a painful response, discomfort, anxiety and agitation, and not be well coordinated with the doctor to complete the operation [5,16,17]. Therefore, it's necessary to find an alternative anesthesia method for these patients undergoing PKP.…”

“…However, some patients with local anesthesia have severe pain and restlessness during surgery and cannot cooperate with the doctor to complete the operation [5]. Thoracic epidural block has a high failure rate and the risk of severe complications such as epidural abscess and spinal hematoma [6].…”
