Abstract

Eleven patients 9 women and 2 men mean age 68 years age range 58–82 with painful osteolytic vertebral body metastases unresponsive to conservative treatments underwent RF combined with KP under general anaesthesia Primary neoplasms were kidney carcinoma n=1 breast carcinoma n=1 thyroid carcinoma n=2 and multiple myeloma n=7 Lesion levels were cervical n=1 thoracic n=9 and lumbar n=1 Combined RF and KP was welltolerated by all patients The procedures were performed using fluoroscopic guidance and intraoperative neurophysiology monitoring Pain relief with the visual analogue scale VAS pain score and analgaesic consumption were evaluated before and after treatmentNo complication occurred In one case we observed an asymptomatic cement leakage Pain significantly decreased after treatment the mean VAS pain score before treatment was 8 range 7–10 vs 18 range 0–3 and 19 range 1–3 respectively 72 h and 6 weeks after the treatment Analgaesic reduction was achieved in all patientsScopo di questo studio è stato valutare retrospettivamente la sicurezza e l’efficacia dell’utilizzo combinato di radiofrequenza RF e cifoplastica CP per il trattamento del dolore correlato a lesioni osteolitiche metastatiche del corpo vertebrale resistente ai trattamenti conservativi standardUndici pazienti 9 donne e 2 uomini con età media di 68 anni range 58–82 affetti da metastasi osteolitiche del soma vertebrale associate a dolore resistente ai trattamenti conservativi standard sono stati sottoposti all’utilizzo combinato di RF e CP in anestesia generale Le neoplasie primitive erano di origine renale n=1 mammaria n=1 tiroidea n=2 e mielomatosa n=7 Il livello della lesione era cervicale n=1 toracico n=9 e lombare n=1 La procedura combinata di RF e CP è stata ben tollerata da tutti i pazienti Le procedure sono state eseguite con l’ausilio dell’amplificatore di brillanza e del monitoraggio neurofisiologico intraoperatorio La riduzione del dolore considerata secondo la scala analogica del dolore VAS e l’assunzione di farmaci analgesici sono stati valutati prima del trattamento dopo 72 ore e a 6 settimane dalla proceduraNon si sono verificate complicazioni Il dolore è significativamente diminuito dopo il trattamento il valore medio era di 8 range 7–10 prima del trattamento passando a 18 range 0–3 72 ore dopo il trattamento e quindi a 19 range 1–3 a 6 settimane dalla procedura La riduzione nell’assunzione di farmaci analgesici è stata documentata in tutti i pazientiL’utilizzo combinato di RF e CP rappresenta una potenziale alternativa di trattamento palliativo per le lesioni osteolitiche metastatiche del corpo vertebrale in pazienti selezionati La procedura si dimostra sicura permettendo di ottenere una significativa riduzione del dolore un effetto di stabilizzazione del corpo vertebrale ed un miglioramento della qualità di vita
