Abstract
Purpose: estimate efficiency minimally invasive methods of treatment at patients with tumor lesion of bones.
Materials and methods: 145 patients, middle age e 42 years. it has been executed 249 percutaneous vertebroplasty, 15 osteoplasty and 46 radiofrequency thermal ablation Most often minimally invasive methods were carried out to patients with bone metastasis lesion of a breast cancer – 65 (44,8%) and kidneys – 14 (10%) patients.
Results: reduction in a painful syndrome on a visual analog scale after operation is noted at 126 (87%) by patients. Positive dynamics Watkins scale at 119 (82%). Improvement of quality of a life on scale Karnofski at 94 (65%) the patient. Complications after vertebroplasty and osteoplasty in the form of methylmethacrylate leak into the surrounding tissues at 19 (18,5%) patients. At one patient after radiofrequency thermal ablation has developed burn skin. There were three pathological bone fractures after radiofrequency thermal ablation.
Conclusions: vertebroplasty, osteoplasty and radiofrequency thermal ablation – minimally invasive methods of treatment the patients with tumoral lesion of the bones, allowing in short tim stop a painful syndrome, create adequate stability in a bone segment and improve quality of a life of oncological patients.
