Abstract
BACKGROUND: Osteoid osteomas are benign bone-forming tumors that frequently affect the spine. The primary treatment method is surgical removal of the neoplasm. However, if osteoid osteomas are anatomically difficult to access, surgical intervention may require extensive resection of unaffected bone, resulting in loss of vertebral support and the need for further stabilization. Alternative techniques, such as percutaneous radiofrequency ablation and laser thermal ablation, are highly effective; however, their use is limited due to the proximity of the spinal cord and neural structures. Therefore, advanced navigation systems, as well as minimally invasive and endoscopic approaches, are required to enable localized osteoid osteoma resection without destabilizing the spinal segment. This approach prevents damage to supporting structures, especially when the tumor is located in the middle supporting column of the vertebra, eliminating the need for internal fixation.
AIM: The work aimed to review surgical treatment options in children with confirmed spinal osteoid osteomas and to assess the outcomes of minimally invasive and open surgeries, including in patients with lesions in the middle supporting column.
METHODS: The study included 36 patients diagnosed with spinal osteoid osteoma. The age range was 8 to 18 years. Surgical outcomes were evaluated based on the chosen approach, extent of resection, and the use of internal fixation.
RESULTS: Radiofrequency ablation was successfully performed in four patients with lesions located in thermally accessible areas. Open surgeries were performed in 32 cases. The most challenging cases were reported in seven patients with tumors located in the middle supporting column. Patients who underwent minimally invasive procedures had a shorter recovery period than those who had conventional (open) surgery.
CONCLUSION: A personalized surgical strategy, taking into account tumor location and optimal access route, with the use of advanced minimally invasive techniques, allows for optimal treatment outcomes in children with spinal osteoid osteomas. This approach ensures complete tumor resection with minimal surgical intervention, while preserving spinal column function.
