RPE-P/TLIF for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis With Instability

February 26, 2024 updated by: Wen-xi Sun

Robot-assisted Percutaneous Endoscopic Posterior/Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis With Instability

Objective To analyze the effectiveness and safety of robot-assisted percutaneous endoscopic posterior/transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (RPE-P/TLIF) in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis with instability. Methods A single-center prospective study from September 2018 to April 2022, patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and instability who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were treated with RPE-P/TLIF. Pain visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of low back pain and lower limb pain before operation, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year after operation and at the final follow-up, and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) was used to evaluate the degree of lumbar spinal function. At the last follow-up, MacNab criteria were used to evaluate the clinical efficacy. Imaging evaluation included the measurement of intervertebral space height, lumbar physiological curvature, fusion rate and pedicle screw accuracy by preoperative and lateral X-ray films.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

This study included patients with clinical manifestations of intermittent claudication accompanied by lower back pain, lumbar spine MRI and/or CT findings of lumbar spinal stenosis, and X-ray images of over extension and over flexion indicating responsible segment lumbar instability. Symptoms were severe, affecting daily life and work, and conservative treatment was ineffective. RPE-P/TLIF single or double segment surgery was performed.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients who present with intermittent claudication accompanied by lower back pain, lumbar spine MRI and/or CT findings of lumbar spinal stenosis, and X-ray images of over extension and over flexion indicating instability of the responsible segment of the lumbar spine, have severe symptoms that affect daily life and work, and have poor conservative treatment results. Therefore, RPE-P/TLIF single segment or double segment surgical treatment is recommended.

Exclusion Criteria:

(1) Simple lumbar spinal stenosis without responsible segment instability; (2) Long segment (3 or more) spinal stenosis with lumbar instability; (3) Patients with major internal medicine underlying diseases who cannot tolerate surgery; (4) Individuals with comorbid mental disorders or Alzheimer's disease who are unable to cooperate with relevant scale filling and subsequent follow-up; (5) Age<18 years old.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
RPE-P/TLIF
The clinical manifestation is intermittent claudication accompanied by lower back pain. Patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis indicated by MRI and/or CT, and instability of the responsible segment of the lumbar spine shown by X-ray in the over extension and over flexion position, with severe symptoms that affect daily life and work, and poor conservative treatment effect, should undergo RPE-P/TLIF single or double segment surgical treatment.
Procedure: RPE-P/TLIF
patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and instability who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were treated with RPE-P/TLIF

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain visual analog scale (VAS)
Time Frame: Before surgery, 1 month after surgery, 6 months after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 4 years after surgery
Pain assessment, assessing lower back pain and lower limb pain.
Before surgery, 1 month after surgery, 6 months after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 4 years after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Oswestry disability index (ODI)
Time Frame: Before surgery, 1 month after surgery, 6 months after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 4 years after surgery

MacNab criteria
Time Frame: Before surgery, 1 month after surgery, 6 months after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 4 years after surgery
The overall efficacy rate was evaluated using the modified MacNab criteria, which were divided into four levels: excellent, good, fair, and poor. Among them, excellent was the complete disappearance of symptoms and the restoration of normal life; Liangwei still has mild symptoms and mild activity restriction, but has no impact on life and work; May still have obvious symptoms, limited activities, and affect normal life and work; Poor symptoms do not improve, activities do not improve, and even worsen.
