Vertebral body cemented stents combined with posterior stabilization in the surgical treatment of metastatic spinal cord compression of the thoracolumbar spine

摘要

Extensile interventions to provide anterior spinal column support in metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) surgery incur added morbidity in this surgically frail group of patients. We present our preliminary results of posterior spinal decompression and stabilization coupled with vertebral body cemented stents for anterior column support in MSCC.
