STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective analysis was performed of the clinical outcomes of @entity1 with pyogenic or @entity1511 who were treated with two-stage surgery (first stage: placement of posterior instrumentation; second stage: anterior debridement and bone grafting). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of the abovementioned two-stage surgical treatment for pyogenic or @entity1511 . SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Although several methods of surgical treatment for pyogenic and @entity1511 have been reported, there have been few reports of two-stage surgical treatment. METHODS: Eight @entity1 (7 male, 1 female) with pyogenic or @entity1511 (pyogenic: 6; tuberculotic: 2) were treated by two-stage surgery (first: placement of posterior instrumentation, second: anterior debridement and bone graft). Age at the time of surgery was 63.5 +/- 9.91 years (average +/- SD) (range: 47 to 77 years). Most of the @entity1 had systemic problems, such as @entity55 , @entity6 , or @entity177 . First, posterior spinal instrumentation was placed. Then, anterior debridement and bone grafting were performed. @entity1 were evaluated before and after surgery in terms of pain level, hematologic parameters, neurologic status, and Barthel index. RESULTS: Average duration of surgery for both procedures was less than 4 hours. Changes in the @entity158 , and Barthel index demonstrated significant clinical improvement in all @entity1 . Posterior wound @entity281 occurred in two @entity1 who were in poor general condition. CONCLUSIONS: This two-stage surgical treatment for pyogenic or @entity1511 provided satisfactory results and can also be used in @entity1 who are in poor general condition.
