THE TREND AND PROFILE OF THE THORACIC SPINE SURGERY IN NEUROSURGERY DEPARTMENT FACULTY OF MEDICINE UNIVERSITAS INDONESIA – RSUP NASIONAL DR. CIPTO MANGUNKUSUMO 2012 – 2016

Background: Spinal surgery, in general, is increasing in number. The most frequent pathology is degenerative disease, and the most common segment is cervical and lumbar. However, there is limited information concerning the thoracic spine surgeries.Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the trend and profle of the thoracic spine (T-spine) surgeries in the Department of Neurosurgery Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia – RSUP Dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo from 2012 to 2016.Method: This is a retrospective study including all patients who were undergoing T-spine surgery during the period of study from January 2012 to December 2016. The number of T-spine procedureswas recorded and plotted in the trend graph. The data consisting age, gender, indication and procedure of T-spine surgery, and duration of hospital stay were recorded from medical records.Result: In the last fve years, there was an increasing trend of T-spine surgery. A total of 68 surgeries for T-spine performed with 35 female and 33 male subjects. Majority of subjects were aged 41 to 50 years old (28%), with an indication of surgery due to tumours (68%). As many as 76% T-spine surgery was carried out non-instrumented. Duration of hospital stay was 9-13 days.Conclusion: Productive age is the most common age undergoing T-spine surgeries. A spinal tumour is the most frequent indication of the T-spine surgerie

CERVICAL MYELOPATHY AS THE MOST COMMON SYMPTOMS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING C-SPINE SURGERY IN THE SPINE DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF NEUROSURGERY, CIPTO MANGUNKUSUMO GENERAL HOSPITAL, FROM JANUARY 2012 TO DECEMBER 2016

Background. Cervical spine disease has the potential to reduce productivity in affected patients because of myelopathy and mood disorder (e.g. depression) which lead to decreasing of the patient’s quality of life. Objective. This study aims to elaborate the most frequent symptoms and pathology of C-spine disease in patients who underwent a surgical procedure over the period time from January 2012 to December 2016. Method. This study is a retrospective, conducted in Spine Division of Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia (FMUI). All patients who underwent surgery for the C-spine disease are included. The data was obtained from the records in our spine database. Result. The total number of surgical procedures for spine disease over the 5 years was 345 procedures, with 127 procedures in the C-spine which are the second most common procedures of spine surgery in Department of Neurosurgery FMUI. The C-spine diseases were more common in males, aged more than 50 years old. The most frequent disease or pathology is degenerative disease, and yet, tumour cases show an increasing number and became the most common pathology in the year of 2016. The most common procedure is anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).Conclusion. Our study showed that the most common symptoms and pathology are myelopathies and degenerative disease respectively, which has similarity with another study in the term of the most frequent pathology and surgical procedure. The finding of the more advanced neurological condition by the time of surgery as the most common symptom is found to be contradictory with other studies in western countries

New Predictor of In-Hospital Mortality of The Surgically Treated Haemorrhagic Stroke: Subanalysis

At present there are no specific limits on the level of inflammatory markers which can be used as a boundary between excessive or non-inflammatory responses. We investigate the leukocytes count at hospital admission of spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage patients to be proposed as a boundary between excessive inflammation and not excessive. This is a subanalysis from the study of the neuroprotective effect of tigecycline on brain injury due to spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage supratentorial who underwent evacuation of the hematoma. Leukocytosis defined as a leukocyte count ≥ 11.000 cells/mL. The primary outcome was inhospital mortality and the secondary outcome was length of hospital stay (LOS). Statistical analysis conducted by chi-square or Fisher’s exact test and logistic regression. Seventy patients were included. Approximately 79% of the patients had leucocytosis. Leucocytosis was not associated with inhospital mortality or LOS of 15 days or longer. However, a leucocyte count of 20,000 mm3 or higher was associated with in-hospital mortality (odds ratio, 9.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.97 to 42.06; P = 0.005). A leucocyte count of 20,000/mm3 or higher can be proposed as a boundary of the excessive inflammation on spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage. Prediktor Baru Kematian di Rumah Sakit untuk Pasien Stroke Hemoragik yang Dilakukan Operasi: Hasil Subanalisis Saat ini belum ada penanda khusus untuk menilai suatu respons inflamasi yang berlebihan atau tidak. Penelitian ini bermaksud mengungkap jumlah leukosit tertentu sebagai penanda inflamasi yang berlebihan pada pasien perdarahan otak spontan yang dilakukan operasi evakuasi hematoma intracranial. Penelitian Ini adalah subanalisis dari studi efek neuroprotektif tigecycline pada cedera otak akibat perdarahan intraserebral spontan yang menjalani evakuasi hematoma. Leukositosis didefinisikan sebagai jumlah leukosit ≥ 11.000 sel / mL. Luaran utamanya adalah kematian di rumah sakit dan luaran sekundernya adalah lama perawatan di rumah sakit (LOS= length of stay). Analisis statistik dilakukan dengan chi-square atau uji eksak Fisher dan regresi logistik. Hasil: 70 pasien dilibatkan. Sekitar 79% dari pasien memiliki leukositosis. Leucocytosis tidak berhubungan dengan kematian di rumah sakit atau LOS 15 hari atau lebih. Namun, jumlah leukosit 20.000 mm3 atau lebih tinggi berhubungan dengan kematian di rumah sakit (rasio odds, 9,09; interval kepercayaan 95%, 1,97 hingga 42,06; P = 0,005). Jumlah leukosit 20.000 / mm3 atau lebih tinggi dapat diusulkan sebagai batas peradangan berlebihan pada perdarahan intraserebral spontan.&nbsp

In retrospective, the gentle learning curve of unilateral laminectomy promotes favorable clinical outcomes

Background: The learning curve in implementing a new surgical procedure is often time-consuming and potentially comes with the additional risk of injury associated with an unusual surgical procedure, which may harm the patient. Aim: Evaluate intraoperative burden and neurologic recovery of spinal tumor resection following unilateral laminectomy procedures. Methods: Medical records of patients undergoing surgery for intradural spinal tumors from January 2015 to June 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative and postoperative data were collected from medical records and interviews. The intraoperative burden was assessed by duration of surgery, estimated intraoperative blood loss (EIBL), and postoperative leukocyte count. Short-term and long-term outcomes were recorded. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and Fisher's exact test. The neurological recovery rate is calculated by the Hirabayashi method, where a 75–100% score indicates an excellent neurological recovery. Results: Twenty-six records were included in this study. The mean duration of surgery was 180 (120–540) minutes, the mean EIBL was 175 (50 – 1,200) mL, and mean increase in postoperative leukocyte count was 5,670 (2,210 – 13,250) cells/mL, and the mean LOS was 6.5 (4 – 42) days. In 20 of 26 (76.9%) patients, gross total resection was achieved. An excellent neurological recovery rate was achieved in 81% of patients. Conclusion: Unilateral laminectomy procedures are adaptable without additional disadvantages, resulting in satisfactory clinical results
