INTRODUCTION: Spinal laminectomy is a common procedure performed to relieve neural compression in patients suffering from myelopathy or radiculopathy. However, up to 40% of patients suffer from persistent post-operative pain and disability, a condition known as Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS). Excessive scarring in the surgical bed is implicated as a cause. Hydrogels have been proposed to prevent adhesion formation post-laminectomy; however, their efficacy has not been proven. This study uses Chitogel complexed with the iron chelator Deferiprone (Def) to prevent adhesion formation in a sheep laminectomy model.
MATERIAL & METHODS: Fifteen Adult Merino sheep (Ovis Aries, 1-5 yrs old) underwent laminectomy at lumbar levels 1-5 and had hydrated aluminum silicate (kaolin) applied to promote adhesion formation. Subjects were randomised to receive at each laminectomy level no-treatment control, Chitogel, Chitogel with Def at 20 mM or 40 mM or Carboxy-methyl-cellulose and Polyethylene oxide (CMC/PEO) gel. The animals were recovered for 3 months post-surgery, followed by assessment with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and histopathology of the spinal tissues for evaluating the presence and extent of adhesions.
RESULTS: MRI and Histology assessment indicated that Kaolin induced severe inflammation with adhesion formation. Chitogel with and without 20 mM Def decreased inflammation (p < 0.01) and trended to reduce adhesions (p < 0.1). Chitogel with Def 40 mM was not significantly dis-similar to CMC/PEO and did not reduce inflammation or adhesions compared to no-treatment control.
CONCLUSION: Chitogel in combination with Def 20 mM is safe and effective in decreasing the inflammatory process and may possibly reduce post-operative adhesions following laminectomy.
