Abstract

AIM: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of citicoline administration on epidural fibrosis which is a frequent complication of lumbar disc surgery with no effective treatment or preventive surgical technique. MaterIal and Methods: Sixty Sprague-Dawley female rats undergoing L4-5 right hemilaminotomy and annular fenestration were arranged in three groups: rats in Group 1 (control group) and Group 2 (topical citicoline group) were applied 0,9% saline and 100 &#956;M citicoline on surgical area, respectively, while rats in Group 3 (systemic citicoline group) received 600 &#956;mol/kg citicoline intraperitoneally. Rats were sacrificed four weeks later and their vertebral colons were removed en bloc. Groups were evaluated according to histological criteria and results were compared using statistical tools. Results: Compared with control group, significantly less epidural fibrosis, dural adhesion, fibroblast cell density, foreign body reaction, and medulla spinalis retraction were observed in groups treated with topical and systemic citicoline (groups 2 and 3) (p<0,001). No significant difference was found with regard to measured parameters between two treatment groups (p>0,05). ConclusIon: Our study demonstrates for the first time in the literature that citicoline may be effective for preventing postoperative epidural fibrosis. However, its mechanism of action and clinical effectiveness must be further investigated.

Özet

AMAÇ: Çalışmamızın amacı, sitikolin uygulamasının henüz efektif bir tedavisi veya koruyucu bir cerrahi tekniği bulunmayan ve lomber disk cerrahisinin sık bir komplikasyonu olan epidural fibrozis üzerine etkisini incelemektir. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Sağ L4-5 hemilaminatomive anular fenestrasyonu yapılmış 60 Spraque Dawley dişi sıçan 3 gruba ayrıldı. Grup 1 (kontrol grubu) ve Grup 2 (topikal sitikolin grubu)’deki sıçanlara cerrahi alan üzerine sırasıyla 0,9% serum fizyolojik ve 100 μM sitikolin uygulanırken, Grup 3 (sistemik sitikolin grubu)’deki sıçanlara intraperitoneal yolla 600 μmol/kg sitikolin verildi. Sıçanlar 4 hafta sonra öldürüldü ve vertebral kolonları blok olarak çıkarıldı. Gruplar histolojik kriterlere göre değerlendirildi ve sonuçlar istatistiksel yöntemler kullanılarak karşılaştırıldı. BULGULAR: Topikal ve sistemik sitikolin ile tedavi edilen (Grup 2 ve 3) gruplarda kontrol grubuna kıyasla istatistiksel olarak daha az epidural fibrozis, dural yapışıklık, fibroblast hücre yoğunluğu, yabancı cisim reaksiyonu ve medulla spinalis retraksiyonu gözlendi (p 0,05). SONUÇ: Çalışmamız literatürde ilk kez sitikolin’in postoperatif epidural fibrozisi önlemede efektif olabileceğini göstermiştir. Ancak sitikolinin etki mekanizmaları ve klinik etkinliği ilerideki çalışmalarla araştırılmalıdır.
