2 Objective and Background data The objective of this study is to describe surgical indications and complications of costo-transversectomy transversectomy. This technique was described by Capener in 1954, it was called lateral rhachotomy. It was performed to drain tuberculous abscess. Methods N.Capener. JBJS 1954; 36 B: Retrospective case series of 24 patients operated from 2005 to Mean age 60 years (17-84). There were 13 women and 11 men. Most of the patients had severe co-morbidities (table 1).
3 SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Posterior midline exposure two to three levels above and below lesion, dissection at level of lesion exposing transverse process, costotransverse articulation and medial 5 cm of ribs. Placement of pedicle screws at proximal and distal levels. Bilateral or unilateral costotransversectomy and rhacothomy at one or more levels. After temporary rod stabilization, laminectomy and discectomy/ corpectomy are performed to permit circumferential decompression.
4 Reconstruction of the anterior thoracic spine with cage and graft. After that, posterior reconstruction with two rods.
5 Results There were 11 cases of spondylodiscitis,, 7 spinal tumours, 4 kyphosis/kyphoscoliosis,, 1 acute fracture with spinal cord compression, 1 thoracic disk herniation (table 1). There were 17 patients with spinal cord compression and neurological impairment before surgery. Neurological improvement of at least 1 Frankel grade was achieved in 9 cases. There were no cases of neurological deterioration after surgery (table 1). All of the patients received posterior instrumentation with two titanium rods. The average of fused levels was 8 (4-15). Titanium mesh or PEEK cages were used as an anterior support in 19 cases, and tricortical iliac autograft in 2 (table 2).
6 Results Bilateral costo-transversectomy transversectomy was done in 7 cases, right approach in 10 and left in 7. Costo- transversectomy was performed at one level in 4 cases, two levels in 10, and three levels in 10 (table 2). 10 cases were located in the upper-thoracic spine (T1- T4), 5 in mid-thoracic (T5-T8) T8) and 9 in low-thoracic (T9-T12) T12) (table 2). Pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) was done in 2 cases, corpectomy in 17 cases, thoracic discectomies in 4, and 1 spinal cord decompression in vertebral rotatory subluxation (case 23). None of the patients requiered a chest tube in inmediate postoperative (except case 19). Blood loss averaged 2430 ml ( ). Mean surgical time 6.3 hours (4-10). Hospital length of stay 36,8 days (10-100). 100).
7 Results. Complications. There were postoperative complications in 15 patients (62.5%) (see table 3): Pleural effusion in 6 cases (all( of them requiered chest tube insertion). 5 patients required Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission due to postoperative complications. 7 patients required surgical intervention: 5 debridement and closure due to wound dehiscence or infection and 2 proximal extension of fusion due to pull-out of instrumentation. Patients #20 and #23, needed a third operation: debridement and removal of material due to infection. Patient #23 suffered from sepsis. There were 2 acute atrial fibrillation, patient #14 had a cardiopulmonary arrest but she recovered after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Patient #3 and #13 had pneumonic sepsis; patient #13 (with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), died.

11 E 45-year old patient (#23) developed neurological impairment Frankel B, after performing a hyperextension movement of his arms. Past medical history: Neurofibromatosis type 1, scoliosis operated at the age of 12, restrictive pulmonary disfunction. Paraplegia was due to vertebral rotatory subluxation in severe dystrophic kyphoscoliosis (Images A, B, C). Right costotransversectomies and instrumentation were performed, and spinal cord decompression was achieved (Image D). Protrusion of instrumentation caused wound dehiscence and the patient needed plastic surgery closure 15 days after first surgery. 15 days later, the patient suffered from sepsis and required ICU admission and a third operation (debridement and removal of material) due to deep wound infection (Images E, F). The patient improved his neurological impairment after surgery, Frankel D, and he is able to walk with orthotic devices and crutches. A B C D
12 Conclusions Thoracic corpectomies or discectomies have tradicionally been performed through an anterior approach or a combined anterior- posterior approach. Patients who cannot tolerate anterior thoracic procedures with significant pulmonary comorbidity or those in whom a salvage procedure is the only palliative alternative, this technique may serve as a preferred option. Costo-transversectomy transversectomy is a demanding technique, it leads to sufficient exposition of the anterior aspect of the spinal canal avoiding an anterior approach. Indications: Kyphotic deformities, thoracic disc herniation,, infective, traumatic or neoplastic lesions of the vertebral body that lead to vertebral body destruction, instability and neurologic deficit. But it is not free of complications, particularly in patients who have severe co-morbidity.
