Morphometrical evaluation of decompression obtained through corpectomy. Heading towards to posterior approaches

We analysed the decompression obtained by dorsal or dorsolumbar corpectomy measured by Cobb angle and the spinal area prior to and after surgery and compared the evolution of the technique over the last five years of the study. A retrospective review of patients operated between 2005 and 2015 throug...

Description
Summary:We analysed the decompression obtained by dorsal or dorsolumbar corpectomy measured by Cobb angle and the spinal area prior to and after surgery and compared the evolution of the technique over the last five years of the study. A retrospective review of patients operated between 2005 and 2015 through anterior or posterior approaches was performed. 24 patients were studied and a significant improvement was observed between the preoperative and postoperative morphometrical measurement (4.18° correction of the kyphosis and an increase of 130.8mm2 in the spinal canal, p
