Abstract

Spinal metastases are the most common type of bone metastases and currently, external radiation and steroid therapy are used in most patients with neoplastic spinal cord compression. Surgery is generally used to treat those who do not respond to radiation therapy. The objective of this study is to analyze different types of surgical access in the treatment of patients with metastatic vertebral lesions. Selected adequate surgical resection access for 83 patients’ with spinal metastasis enrolled in this study, the surgery depended on tumor site, nerve structures and operation access that used to resect tumors: anterior, posteriorly, lateral and posterolateral access. Inconclusion, selection surgical treatment for spinal metastases is mainly to relieve pain, rebuild spinal stability, improve nerve function, control local tumors, and improve the quality of life of patients.
