Fifty-six patients who underwent one-stage (same anaesthesia) simultaneous or sequential anterior decompression and posterior stabilisation of the involved vertebrae for spinal infection from January 1994 to December 2002 were reviewed. In group I (n=29), sequential anterior and posterior surgery was performed. In group II (n=27), simultaneous anterior and posterior spinal surgery was performed. With regard to age and gender, there was no statistical difference between both groups (P=0.05). The analysed and compared data between the two groups included the age, gender, blood loss, operation time and postoperative complications. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of the duration of surgery, amount of blood transfusion needed and occurrence of major postoperative complications (P < 0.05). The mean correction of the kyphotic deformity was similar in both groups (P > 0.05) without a subsequent loss of correction on follow-up radiographic films at a mean follow-up of 6.5 years (range, 3 to 11 years). Simultaneous anterior and posterior surgery is a good alternative procedure. It provides the ability to manipulate both anterior and posterior aspects of the spine at the same time and appears to result in less blood loss, a shorter operative time and fewer complications. However, gaining experience and the availability of two surgical teams are important factors in the success of the procedure.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPyogenic vertebral osteomyelitisManagementFusionDebridementParalysisMaleAdultAgedBlood transfusionFemaleHumansKyphosisOsteomyelitisMiddle agedPostoperative complicationsRetrospective studiesSpinal fusionArticle0002467552000162-s2.0-3424909049836336631316736143OrthopedicsSpondylitis; Osteomyelitis; Epidural AbscessFemaleAdultAge distributionAnesthesiaArticleBleedingControlled studyMaleFollow upHumanIntermethod comparisonKyphosisMajor clinical studyOperation durationSpine surgeryStatistical analysisSpine stabilizationOutcome assessmentPostoperative complicationPriority journalSex ratioSpinal cord decompressionSpinal cord infectionSurgical approachSurgical techniqueVertebra
