대한정형외과학회지 : 제 44 권제 1 호 2009 J Korean Orthop Assoc 2009; 44: 76-82 추궁하감압술에의한최소침습적일측성경추간공요추추체간유합술 - 양측성접근법과의비교 - 민상혁ㆍ황성수 단국대학교의과대학정형외과학교실 Minimal Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion by Sublaminar Decompression - Comparison to Approach - Sang-Hyuk Min, M.D., and Sung-Su Hwang, M.D. Department of Orthopeadic Surgery, Dankook University College of Medicine, Cheonan, Korea Purpose: This is a comparison of the unilateral and bilateral es for minimal invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), and we did so by measuring the clinical and radiological results. Materials and Methods: This study examined a consecutive series of 47 patients who underwent one-level TLIF (26 cases of the unilateral and 21 cases of the bilateral to the lumbar spine) and the follow-up data was compared with a minimum 1-year follow-up. Sublaminar decompression and contralateral foraminectomy were done in all the case of using the unilateral. The age of each patient, the amount of intraoperative blood loss, the postoperative drainage, the transfusion requirement and the surgery time were investigated. The clinical outcomes were analyzed using the visual analogue scale, the SF-36 Physical Composite Score (PCS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI). The preoperative, postoperative & last follow-up changes in the height and angles of the disc in the fused segments and the lumbar lordotic angles were radiologically analyzed. Results: There was no statistical difference between the two s in terms of the clinical and radiographic results at the last follow-up. But the unilateral - was found to have a less blood loss, less postoperative drainage, a lesser requirement for transfusion and a shorter surgery time. Conclusion: This study confirms that the unilateral can be the better way if the technical problems are solved.

추궁하감압술에의한최소침습적일측성경추간공요추추체간유합술 77 임상결과와방사선학적결과에대해비교분석하고자하였다. 대상및방법 1. 연구대상및방법 2005년 3월부터 2007년 1월까지본원에서한명의술자에의해최소침습적경추간공요추추체간유합술을시행받은 76명의환자중척추관협착증으로단일분절유합술후최소 1년이상추시관찰이가능하였던 47예 ( 일측성접근법 26예와양측성접근법 21예 ) 를대상으로연구를시행하였다. 모든예에서협착증을동반한퇴행성요추질환으로양측성증상인경우만을대상으로하였으며, 척추전방전위증의예는대상에서제외하였다. 또한, 단분절의유합술후상하분절에대한감압술또는추간판제거술등을추가적으로시행한예는모두대상에서제외하였다. 일측성접근법은추궁하감압술및반대측의신경공감압술을포함하여시행한예를적용하였다. 일측성접근법과양측성접근법의선택은무작위적으로이루어졌으나일측성접근법으로시행한 2예에서수술중추체간기구 (shaver) 를이용하여추체간격을순차적으로신연시키는과정에서유연성이없이만족스러운추체높이를얻기어렵다고판단되어양측성접근법으로전환하였다. 그이외에는접근법의선택에있어서다른기준은없었다. 일측성접근법에서유합술을시행한방향은수술전임상증상이심한부위로하였으며, 임상증상이유사한경우는방사선검사상협착이심한부위를택하였다. 경추간공요추추체간유합술시전방지지를위하여모든예에서 cage 를사용하였으며, 유합에사용된골은후궁절제술시얻어진골을모든예에서이용하였으며, 부족시후상방장골극에서약 1 cm 크기의절개를통한골채취를시행하였다. 환자나이, 실혈량, 수술후배액량, 수혈량, 수술시간을조사하였고, 임상적결과는시각통증등급 (visual analogue scale), SF-36 의신체요소종합점수 (physical composite score), Oswestry 장애지수 (disability index) 를이용하여평가하였다. 방사선학적으로는수술전후및최종추시관찰시측정한추간판높이와추간판각의변화, 요추전만도를각각조사하였다. 환자의평균나이및추시기간은, 일측성접근군의 경우 54.35 세 (32 69세) 와 16.44 개월 (12-27 개월 ), 양측성접근군의경우는 61.43 세 (30-77세) 와 17.41 개월 (12-27개월) 이었다. 성별은일측성접근군의경우남자가 10명, 여자가 16명이었으며, 양측성접근군의경우남자가 11명, 여자가 10명이었다. 2. 방사선학적분석및임상적평가방사선학적분석은방사선과전문의 1인과정형외과전문의 1인이각각 2회씩측정한값의평균값을그측정값으로하였으며, 유합술과수술전후및최종추시관찰시측정한추간판높이와추간판각의변화그리고요추전만도를각각수술적접근법에따라나누어조사하였다. 추간판높이는유합술을시행한분절의상하골단판을잇는직선을긋고, 골단판의중심을서로연결하는수선의길이로측정하였으며, 추간판각은이들상하골단판이이루는각도로측정하였다. 요추전만도의경우요추 1번과천추 1번의상위골단판이이루는각도를측정하였다. 임상적결과의판정은 SF-36 의신체요소종합점수와 Oswestry 장애지수, 그리고시각통증등급을이용하여평가하였으며시각통증등급은요통과방사통을나누어비교하였다. 마취기록에의거하여수술중실혈량과수술시간을조사하였고, 수혈량과수술후배액량도수술적접근법에따라각각조사하였다. 통계학적유의성검증은 student t-test를이용하였으며 SF-36 의신체요소종합점수와 Oswestry 장애지수, 그리고시각통증등급의임상적평가요소는 Mann-Whitney 검정을시행하였다 (SPSS Ver. 12.0). 3. 수술방법양측성접근법의경우중앙에서약 2.5 cm 떨어진부위에두개의 2.5 cm 길이의정중방피부절개를가하고, 다열근과최장근을분리하여근육사이로접근하여추궁판과후관절까지도달하였으며, 후관절이노출되면미세척추견인기를걸고수술용미세현미경하에아래관절돌기및위관절돌기의상부반을잘라내고황색인대를제거하여상부척추경을돌아빠져나가는신경근과척추관내경막을노출시킨후추간판제거술을시행하였다 (Fig. 1). 다음으로추체간기구를이용하여순차적으로추체간격을신연시키고, 유합할상하요추종판을소파하여준비한후, 감압술시얻은자가골및자가채취골을이용하

Gejo 등 1) 에따르면후방요추추체간유합술을시행받은 20명의환자에대한술후 trunk muscle performance 변화를관찰한연구에서다열근손상이가장심하였으며수술시간이길수록근회복시간이오래걸렸다고하였다. 본연구에서일측성접근군과양측성접근군의평균수술시간은각각 135분과 176분으로일측성접근군이양측성접근군에비해수술시간이짧았으며, 이는오랜수술시간에따른근육의손상을최소화하는데도움이될것으로생각한다. 본연구에서술전일측성접근법으로계획하였던 2예에서수술중추체간격을순차적으로신연시키는과정에서유연성이없어만족스러운추체높이를얻기어려워결과적으로간접적신경감압 (indirect decompression) 에의한반대측의추간공감압효과가충분치않다고판단되어양측성접근법으로전환한예를볼때, 일측성으로시행한다른예와비교하여술전방사선사진상후관절의퇴행성정도및척추관협착의정도에명백한차이는발견할수없었으나반대측돌기관절절제술 (facetectomy) 시행후만족할만한추체높이를얻을수있
