Abstract:

Objective: to improve the results of treatment in patients with solitary spinal tumor lesion. Subjects and methods. In the period 2006 to 2016, surgical treatment for spinal tumor lesion was performed in 221 patients; of them 29 (13%) patients underwent cancer surgery with endoprosthetic replacement. The pain syndrome in the spine was detected in the majority of patients (n=26 (90%)). Surgery was carried out as corporectomy in 19 (65.5%) patients and as vertebrectomy with various stabilization options in 10 (34.5%). Results. Pain syndrome relief and improvement in quality of life were noted in 80—86% of the patients; the postoperative neurological status improved in 89% of patients. Conclusion. Solitary spinal metastatic lesion is an indication for extended surgery that can improve quality of life in patients, their functional status and relieves pain syndrome and clinical manifestations of neurologic deficit, without affecting the period of special treatment.
