PURPOSE: To characterize the frequency of incidental dural tears in pediatric spine surgery, their treatment, complications, and results of long-term follow-up.
METHODS: A retrospective review of all pediatric patients who underwent a posterior spinal fusion (PSF) between 2004-2019 at a tertiary children's hospital was conducted. Electronic medical records were reviewed for patient demographics, intra-operative data, presence of an incidental dural tear, repair method, and patient outcomes.
RESULTS: 3043 PSFs were reviewed, with 99 dural tears identified in 94 patients (3.3% overall incidence). Mean follow-up was 35.7 months (range 0.1-142.5). When the cause of the dural tear was specified, 69% occurred during exposure, 5% during pedicle screw placement, 4% during osteotomy, 2% during removal of implants, and 2% during intra-thecal injection of morphine. The rate of dural tears during primary PSF was significantly lower than during revision PSF procedures (2.6% vs. 6.2%, p < 0.05). 86.9% of dural tears were repaired and/or sealed intraoperatively, while 13.1% had spontaneous resolution. Postoperative headaches developed in 13.1% of patients and resolved at a mean of 7.6 days. There was no difference in the incidence of headaches in patients that were ordered bedrest vs. no bedrest (p > 0.99). Postoperative infections occurred in 9.5% of patients and 24.1% patients were identified to have undergone a revision surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Incidence of intra-operative dural tears in pediatric spine surgery is 3.3%. Although complications associated with the dural tear occur, most resolve over time and there were no long-term sequelae in patients with 2 years of follow up.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.
