Abstract

Aim: to identify the causes of adverse outcomes of surgical treatment of patients with stenotic processes of the spinal canal at the lumbar level in the risk group.


Methods. The paper presents an analysis of 573 operated patients with stenosing processes of the spinal canal at the lumbar level with the use of stabilizing metal structures in order to identify unsatisfactory treatment outcomes and complications in the postoperative period.


Results. The data of domestic and foreign literature correspond to the results of this study to identify adverse factors, in particular – age> 60 years, BMI (body mass index)> 30 kg / m2, smoking, chronic diseases (anemia, coronary heart disease, hypertension, chronic obstructive lung disease), long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), diabetes mellitus, chronic infections, rheumatoid arthritis, immunodeficiency states, volume and trauma of surgery, duration of surgeries and> 3 hours the amount of blood loss over 1000 ml. So, marked marker adverse factors affecting the possibility of the development of purulent-inflammatory infection in the wound. Of the 573 patients analyzed, a risk group was identified in an amount of 273 patients. In 10 of them, a number of complications developed in the postoperative period, including the main clinical nosological forms of purulent-inflammatory complications in the wound. Bacteriological examination of postoperative wounds revealed the most common pathogens of purulent-inflammatory infection.


Conclusion. As a result of a comprehensive analysis of the surgical treatment of 573 patients, specific ways of reducing the incidence of adverse outcomes and purulent-inflammatory complications and their severity were identified.
