Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
NDI score change3 months after surgery

NDI score is used to assess the disorder of spinal cord which is in the form of questionnaires. Postoperative improvement rate = (total score)/ (numbers of programme X5) X100%. Improvement rate can also correspond to the commonly used efficacy criteria: the improvement rate when 60%-80% means extremely severe dysfunction, when 40%-60% means severe dysfunction, when 20-40% means moderate dysfunction, and when less than 20% means mild dysfunction.

VAS score change3 months after surgery

A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is used to measure the amount of pain that a patient feels ranges across a continuum from none to an extreme amount of pain. Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.

JOA score change3 months after surgery

JOA score is used to assess the function of spinal cord which is in the form of questionnaires. Postoperative improvement rate = ((postoperative score - preoperative score)/ (17- preoperative score)) X100%. Improvement rate can also correspond to the commonly used efficacy criteria: cure when the improvement rate is 100%, effective when the improvement rate is greater than 60%, effective when 25-60%, and ineffective when less than 25%.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
wound infection2 weeks after surgery, 4 weeks after surgery, 3 months after surgery

The presence of wound infection was confirmed through the assessment of the patient's white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein levels and other relevant biochemical markers. Additionally, signs such as erythema, edema, warmth, tenderness and other related symptoms should be evaluated to determine the presence of wound infection.

wound dehiscence2 weeks after surgery, 4 weeks after surgery, 3 months after surgery

The assessment of wound dehiscence primarily relied on the identification of suture rupture within the wound site through direct visualization.
