Abstract

Aim: Our study aim examination aimed to analyze the recurrence and hazards connected with unexpected durotomy in patients experiencing surgical treatment for spinal issues.


Study Design: a retrospective study.


Place and duration of study: Department of Orthopedics and Spine, Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar, from 05-March 2023 through 05-Aug 2023.


Methods:  out of 200 patients of differing genders showing up with spinal cracks. Patients matured somewhere in the range of 25 and 85 experienced thoracolumbar spinal medical procedures. We obtained nitty gritty restorative histories including age, sex, and living, after educated assent. We recorded sorts of thoracolumbar spinal medical procedures and recurrence of unexpected durotomy alongside related elements.


Results: Of the 200 patients, 132 (67%) were men and 68 (33%) were ladies. Age dissemination appeared 48 (32%) patients matured somewhere in the range of 25 and 35, 52 (27%) matured somewhere in the range of 35 and 45, 44 (20%) matured somewhere in the range of 55 and 65, 36 (16%) matured somewhere in the range of 70 and 75, and 20 (8%) more seasoned than 65. Lumbar plate herniation was the most well-known marker for lumbar spinal medical procedures (56%), trailed by spinal stenosis (23%) and vertebral breaks (13%). The commonness of unexpected durotomy was 10% (24 patients).


Conclusion: finding of our study durotomy rose as a normal intricacy in patients experiencing spinal medical procedures, with the karrison rongeur distinguished as the essential element in charge of dural tear.
