OBJECTIVE: To describe and discuss the role of surgery in the management of spontaneous spondylodiscitis.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective review on the outcome and complications of a cohort of patients undergoing surgery for spontaneous (non-postoperative) spondylodiscitis of any spinal level or aetiology.
RESULTS: From 1995 to 2014, 83 patients (45% females, median age 66) with spondylodiscitis were treated. Microbiological confirmation was obtained in 67.4%. Forty-four percent of patients presented with neurological defect. The most common affected level was thoracic (54.2%). The most frequent isolations were Mycobacterium tuberculosis (229%), Staphylococcus aureus (20.5%) and MRSA (7.2%). Eighty-one patients underwent surgery: simple laminectomy and/or biopsy (22.2%), debridement and posterior fixation (43.2%) and debridement and anterior fixation (34.5%). Improvement of pain or neurological defect was achieved in 86.7% of the patients; 7 patients stabilized and 2 worsened. Complications occurred in 35 patients, mainly pleural effusion (9), anaemia (7) and need for re-debridement (7). Median postoperative stay was 14days. After a median follow up of 8.5 months, 46 patients were considered completely cured, 10 presented sequelae, 22 patients were lost and 5 patients died. No readmissions occurred because of the infectious episode.
CONCLUSIONS: Although prolonged and specific antibiotic therapy remains the mainstay of treatment in spontaneous spondylodiscitis, surgery provides samples for microbiological confirmation and histopathologic study, allows debridement of the infectious foci and stabilizes the spine. In our experience, the use of internal metallic fixation material accelerates recovery and does not predispose to chronic infection.
