Hemothorax Caused by Posterior Correction Surgery for Spinal Deformity

Completed

• Conditions: Spinal Deformity; Hemothorax Postoperative

• Registration Number: NCT05579834
• Lead Sponsor: Gazi University

Brief Summary

Owing to the development of instruments and surgical techniques, the number of spinal deformity correction surgeries has increased significantly. The incidence of hemothorax due to posterior correction surgery for spinal deformity is reported to be as low as 0.1%, and the vast majority of these cases were treated through observation without additional intervention. However, if hemothorax that occurs is missed, it can result in increased mortality and morbidity. Furthermore, there is a paucity of data on management of hemothorax caused by posterior correction surgery. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate our cases of hemothorax after posterior correction surgery for spinal deformity.

Detailed Description

We retrospectively reviewed medical records of all pediatric patients who underwent posterior correction surgery from 2016 to 2021.
