Quality of life in the pre and postoperative periods in Spinal Fusion and Discectomy

Gibran Franzoni Rufca

Hospital Santa Casa de Ourinhos, Brazil

he current clinical trials and policies of the health sectors

have increasingly sought to improve the patient’s quality

of life. Within this context, assessing the impact of surgical

treatment of pathologies of the spine on quality of life has

grown in importance. Therefore, due to the epidemiological

and functional importance of spine pathologies, and the high

number of spine surgeries performed today, the main goal of

this study was to evaluate the impact of spinal arthrodesis

and discectomy surgeries on patients’ quality of life. Methods:

This is a retrospective, descriptive, and longitudinal study

developed in the neurology and neurosurgery department

of a strategic tertiary hospital in the state of São Paulo.

Data were collected through a telephone interview, using

the Oswestry questionnaire (ODI) to assess lumbar pain in

patients submitted to surgery in one year. Results: There was

an improvement in the ODI results in all the periods analyzed.

When the evaluations were subdivided by surgical type, there

was an absolute improvement in the median ODI results in

all procedures, however, only the cervical spine arthrodesis

procedure was not statistically significant, probably due to

the low number of procedures analyzed (n = 12). Conclusion:

It can be concluded that the current surgical technique can

contribute to the improvement of patients’ quality of life.

Speaker Biography

Gibran Franzoni Rufca degree in Medicine and Neurosurgery from the

School of Medicine of São José do Rio Preto. He live in the State of São

Paulo and my main institution is the Hospital Santa Casa de Ourinhos,

where my team and He provide neurosurgical treatments, mainly for the

pathologies of the vertebral column. They brought to the region that He

work the first endoscopic, functional surgeries and the first minimally

invasive procedures of the spine. In constant updating, inside and outside

the country, He is currently also a master's degree student in the Post-

Graduation Program of the University of São Paulo - Campus Botucatu

- working in the research of pain and minimally invasive surgeries of the

spine, under the coordination of Prof. Dr. Flávio Ramalho Romero.
