For thoracic-level osteotomies, the transverse processes are removed to reveal the
medial rib. The rib is dissected free from all its soft tissue attachments, taking care to
avoidentering thepleuralspace. Theribis thencut5 to6 cmlateralfrom thevertebra.
Subperiostealdissectionisdonetofreeupthemedialrib,whichisthendetachedfromthe
lateralaspectofthe vertebralbody.Dissectionalongthelateralpedicle andbodyisthen
performedtofree themediastinumfromtheventralvertebralbody.Spoonretractors can
then beplaced around theanterior vertebratofurther protectthe mediastinal structures.
Retracting the spinal cord should be avoided during the decompression to minimize
iatrogenicinjury.
MinimizingBleedingDuringtheOsteotomy
Theepiduralveinsrunapredictablecourse;identifying,coagulating,andcuttingthemcan
minimize blood loss during the procedure. The veins run through the epidural fat and
shouldbecoagulatedwhileseparatingthefatfromthedura.Asecondseriesofveinsrun
alongthemedialaspectofthepedicle,distallyalongthecourseoftheexitingnerveroot
and proximally over the pedicle and deep to the superior facet. When reaching around
ventrally, care should be made to avoid the segmental vessels running along the
midportion of the lateral vertebral body. As well, failure to separate the plane of the
mediastinum from the ventralbodycan lead to significant mediastinal venous bleeding
during dissection lateral to the vertebral body. It is imperative to stay along the lateral
aspectofthevertebrawhendissectinganteriorly.
OsteotomyClosure
Closureof theosteotomyis performedafterensuring adequateresectionof theposterior
wallofthevertebralbodyandaftercompleteresectionofthepedicleshasbeenperformed.
Ifdifficulty isencountered closingthe osteotomy,thesurgeon shouldconsiderresecting
moreboneanteriorlyfor adequatedecompression.Inadequateboneresectionisthe main
reasonosteotomiesdonotclose.
Tojudgethereductionoftheposteriorcolumn,theinferiorfacetofthelevelproximal
totheosteotomycanbepreservedandreducedtothe superiorfacet oftheleveldistalto
theosteotomy.Thiswillensurea stableposteriorcolumnwithstructuralbonecontinuity
andpreventovershorteningduringclosure.Closurecanbeachievedthroughtheuseofa
hook-based central rod (Fig. 3.7), through compression of the periapical anchors with
temporary short rods, or with three- or four-rod constructs using side-to-side rod
connectors.Ifposteriorcolumncontinuitycannotbeachievedthroughosteotomyclosure,
structuralbonegraft(fromadjacentribsorlargespinousprocesses)canbeusedtofillthe
posteriordefects.
Type4:TransdiskalVariant
ModifyingtheproximalresectionofthePSOtoextendacrossthediskspaceprovidesfor
a greaterresection and enables bone-on-bonecontact through the anteriorcolumn. This
variation isparticularly useful in casesof diskitis withkyphoticcollapse (Fig.3.8) and
posttraumatickyphosis.
17
PSOwithPreviousAnteriorImplants
Anterior implants at the level of the planned osteotomy present a challenge when
performing posterior-based procedures. The implants can be removed either through a
formalanterior approach orthrough ananterior reacharoundprocedure from aposterior
approach
18
(Fig.3.9).Posteriorlythetransverse processesareremoved,anddissectionis
performed along the lateral aspect of the pedicle. The anterior implants are identified.
Takingcaretopreservetheexitingnerveroot,ametalcuttingburcanbeusedtocutthe
anterior rod proximal anddistal to the anterior screw. Some of the lateral bodyis then
removedtoidentifytheneckofthescrew,whichisthencutwiththebur.Thesegmentof
theanteriorscrewwiththeattachedrodisremoved.Theosteotomyisthenperformedin
theusualfashionandtheremainingshaftofthescrewisremovedwiththevertebralbody
resection(Fig.3.10).

Type5:VertebralColumnResection
Forlargemultiplanardeformities,resectionofacompletevertebralbodycanprovidethe
mobilityinthespinetoachievetheneededcorrection.
19
Severekyphoticdeformities,like
those seen following tuberculosis, often require more extensive resections involving
multiplevertebraetoachievetheneededcorrection.CommonindicationsforVCRinclude
severekyphoscoliosis,congenitaldeformities(Fig.3.11),andrigiddeformitiessecondary
toprevioussurgery.
20
Theprocedureis performedinasimilarfashion toaPSO.Although thePSOisoften
performedforprimarilysagittalplanedeformities,theVCRcanaccommodatemultiplanar
deformities.Thesedeformitiesoften havemajorrotationalandtranslationalcomponents,
causing significant challenges to the exposure, the dissection, and the decompression,
especiallyontheconcaveside(Fig.3.12a,b).Caremustbetakenwhendissectingaround
the vertebral body on the concavity, to ensure that the dissection does not enter the
mediastinum.Similarly,withthesevererotation,thespinalcordwillbeshiftedagainstthe
concavity (Fig. 3.12c,d), making it vulnerable to injury with removal of the concave
pedicle. Thesechallenges are not asdifficult whenperforminga PSO forsagittal plane
deformities.

anteriorT12toL5fusionandcircumferentialextensiontothesacrumandpelvis.Thoracickyphosis(T5-T12)measures
45degrees,lumbar lordosis (T12-S1) measures 7degrees,thepelvicincidencemeasures 51 degrees, the sacralslope
measures 5 degrees,and the sagittalvertical axis measures12 cm. (g,h)Thepatient underwent anoffsetL2 pedicle
subtraction osteotomy through a posterior approach and proximal extension to T4, as demonstrated in the standing
postoperativelong-casetteposteroanterior(g)andlateral(h)ragiographs.TheL2anteriorscrewwasremovedfromthe
sameposteriorapproach.
ThestepsforaVCRaresimilartothoseforaPSO:exposure,followedbyinsertionof
implants,removal ofthetransverse processes,removal ofthemedial ribsand ribheads,
exposureofthe ventralvertebralbody,posteriordecompression,removal oftheconcave
pedicle, temporary concave rod, convex removal of the pedicle, and release of the
proximalanddistaldisks.Thevertebralbodycan beremovedpiecemealoren bloc.For
piecemealremoval, ashellof ventralvertebralbody cortexcanbe leftbehindto protect
themediastinalstructuresandserveasabarrierfortheanteriorstrutgraftorcage.Foren-
bloc resection, circumferential release of the disks needs to be performed to permit
adequatereleaseandremoval.Releaseoftheconcavesideofthediskisthemostdifficult.
Oftentheadjacentmedialribsontheconcavityneedtoberemovedtoprovidesufficient
accessforthe release.Thetap forthepediclescrews canbeused asajoystickfrom the
convexity to facilitate the complete removal of the vertebral body. The use of proper
retractorstoprotectthemediastinalstructuresduringanteriorbodyresectionisparamount.

WhenperformingVCRwithmarkedrotation,itiseasiesttoenterthecanalthroughthe

toberesectedshouldberemoved,alongwiththelaminaeoftheadjacentlevels.Thiswill
provide good visualization of the spinal cord upon osteotomy closure. The concave

inplace,withthesetscrewsloosened,preventingtranslationwithouthinderingosteotomy
closure.Reductionisofteneasiestfromproximaltodistal.Single-anddual-rodreduction
techniqueshave beendescribed.Reducing aproximal anddistalconvex rodto acentral
connector has also been described. Being familiar with multiple techniques and the
equipmentavailablewillenablethesurgeontotailorthemethodtothegivensituation.
Type6:MultilevelVertebralColumnResection
Severekyphoticangular deformities,oftensecondaryto remoteinfections,areamenable
toposterior-basedvertebralresections.Asinglelevelisofteninsufficient.Multiplelevels
ofthe remnantsofthe deformedvertebrae areresected(Fig. 3.13). Followingresection,
ventral distraction aids in lengthening the anterior column for placement of an anterior
cage/strut.Posteriorshorteningthroughtherodwillcompletethecorrection.
OsteotomiesforFixedLordosis
The correctionof fixed hyperlordosis requiresa combination ofanteriorshortening and
posteriorlengthening.Thisismostreliablyaccomplishedthroughaformalanteriorrelease
followed by a posterior correction (Fig. 3.14). Similar to severe kyphosis, where the
vertebral column is displaced posteriorly, in fixed hyperlordosis the spine is displaced
ventrally. This ventral displacement favors an anterior approach, with the spine being
superficial to the anterior abdominal wall. In cases of thoracic hyperlordosis, severe
narrowingofthemediastinumoccurs,withbronchialcompressionoccurringinthe more
severe cases. Even in cases with respiratory issues, these patients paradoxically benefit
fromformalanterior approachestodecreasethelordosisandhelpincreasethe kyphosis,
thereby increasing the anteroposterior diameter of the mediastinum, relieving the
bronchialcompression.
Anterior shortening can be accomplished with multiple-leveldiskectomiesfor global
hyperlordosisorthroughresectionofdiskandboneformorefocaldeformities(Figs.3.15
and3.16).Aposterior-columnreleaseandinstrumentationisthenperformed.Contouring
theposteriorrodintheappropriatesagittalplanewillthenreducethelordoticdeformity.
Formal posterior distraction after the circumferential release may cause unwanted
distractionoftheentirespineinsteadofjusttheposteriorcolumn,makingthereductionto
anunder-contouredrodthepreferredmethod.

ChapterSummary
The approach to severe spinal deformities has significantly changed with theimproved
techniques,imaging,andinstrumentationthatareavailable.Animprovedoutcomewillbe
achievedwithcarefulpreoperativeplanning,adeepunderstandingofthedeformities,and
the knowledge and ability to perform the various correction techniques. Creating an
environment with experienced andskilledsurgical and perioperative teams will help to
predict and manage the complexities associated with the successful treatment of these
challengingcases.
Pearls
 Obtaining appropriate preoperative imaging studies can help to better understand the complexities of the
deformityandthepatient’sanatomy,andtoplanforpotentialdifficultiesintheprocedure.
Carefulpreoperativeclinicalandradiographicevaluationwillhelptoassess the flexibility of the deformity,to
determine the fixation options, and to decide on the location, number, and type of osteotomies required to
achievethedesiredcorrection.
 Accurate intraoperative spinal cord monitoring, including motor evoked potentials, is essential to the safe
completionoftheseprocedures.Understandingthetimingandmagnitudeofneuromonitoringchangeswilldirect
keyintraoperativedecisions.
Althoughpediclescrewinstrumentationistheprimarymethodofcurvecontrol,alternativefixationmethodssuch
as fusion mass screws or laminar hooks are important backup strategies, especially in revision surgery or
dysplasticanatomy.
Pitfalls
 The artery of Adamkiewicz has a variable anatomy from T8 to L1, most commonly on the left side. When
consideringosteotomiesaroundthethoracolumbarjunction,protectingandsavingthenerverootsmaypreserve
keysourcesofbloodflow.
 Careful and controlled reduction of three-column osteotomies is essential to prevent cord translation and
subsequent injury. Complete visualization of the cord and harmonious collaboration with the surgical team,
electrophysiologicalmonitoringteam,andnursingstaffisessentialforspinalcordsafety.
