Intervention methods in the treatment of tumor defeat of bones

Abstract

Materials and methods. 207 patients has been executed 309 percutaneous vertebroplasty, 41 osteoplasty and 52 radiofrequency thermal ablation, middle age has 48 years. Most often minimally invasive methods were carried out to patients with bones metastasis lesions of breast cancer - 95 (45,5%) and kidneys cancer - 22 (10%) patients. Results. Reduction of pain syndrome on a visual analog scale after operation was noted in 182 (88%) patients. On scale Watkins positive dynamics was regestered in 170 (82%). Improvement of quality of a life on scale Karnofski in 141 (68%) patients. Complications after vertebroplasty and osteoplasty in the form of methylmethacrylate leak into the surrounding tissues out of the channel were observed at 23 (12%) patients. One patient after radiofrequency thermal ablation has developed burn skin. Three pathological fractures of the bone segment were observed after radiofrequency thermal ablation. Conclusions. Vertebroplasty, osteoplasty and radiofrequency thermal ablation - minimally invasive methods of treatment of patients with tumor defeat of the bones, allowing a short term relieve of pain syndrome, to create adequate stability in bone segment and to improve quality of a life of oncological patients.
