The effects of two surgical treatment on idiopathic scoliosis

Abstract

Objective To study and compare the effects of different surgical operation in treatment of adolescent idiopathic seoliosis. Methods 70 patients with adolescent idiopathic seoliosis and patients informed consent were selected as research object,and they were divided into group A 35 cases and group B 35 cases according to their willingness, and they were separately treated with videoassisted anterior thoracoscopic correction and traditional anterior thoracoscopic correction, then the surgical time, complications, hospital stays, rates of patients satisfaction, total effective rate and Cobb, before and after the treatment were detected and compared. Results The surgical time [(225.6 ± 30. 8) min] and hospital stays [(2. 7 ± 0. 8) d] of group A were all shorter than those of group B [( 365. 4 ±23. 8) min, (4. 8 ± 1.2 ) d] ( t = 3.26,3.78, all P ＜ 0. 05 ), complications rate ( 8. 6% ) was lower than that of group B (20. 0% ) ( x2 = 3. 45, P ＜ 0. 05 ), rates of patients satisfaction ( 97. 1% ) and total effective ( 97. 1% ) were higher than those of group B(80. 0% ,85.75% ) (x2 =2. 85,3.01 ,all P ＜0.05) ,Cobb( 14. 2 ± 5.4)°was smaller than that of group B(23. 4 ±5.6) °(t =2. 97 ,P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion The effect of vidcoassisted anterior thoracoscopic correction in treatment of adolescent idiopathic seoliosis was good,and complications rate was low and it was worthy of extend and application.
