Surgical treatment of Spinal Tuberculosis :With posterior decompression, Laminectomy And Pedicle Screw Fixation

Dr. Rohin Bhatia, Dr. Abhishek

Abstract :

The spinal column is involved in less than 1% of all cases of tuberculosis (TB). Spinal TB is a very dangerous type of skeletal TB as it can be associated with neurologic deficit due to compression of adjacent neural structures and significant spinal deformity. Therefore, early diagnosis and management of spinal TB has special importance in preventing these serious complications. Although the development of more accurate imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging and advanced surgical techniques have made the early diagnosis and management of spinal TB much easier, these are still very challenging topics. In this we aim to discuss the diagnosis and management of spinal TB based on surgical treatment
