Abstract

AIM: Epidural fibrosis following a laminectomy procedure is a serious problem that results in failed back surgery syndrome. Aserious number of manuscripts have explained its possible mechanism and results but no effective preventive surgical technique or treatment is currently present. MATERIAL and METHODS: We used a rat hemilaminectomy model at lumbar fourth level. In the treatment group (n:10), the hemilaminectomy sites were filled with cepea extract-allantoin and heparin mixture as sterile cream form. In the second group, the same surgical procedure was performed and the site was filled with physiological saline. All animals were terminated after 6 weeks and laminectomy sites removed en-bloc. Epidural fibrosis was evaluated and compared using semi-quantitative histopathological scoring scales. RESULTS: In the physiological saline group, the fibrosis score was 10.3 points and 90% of the subjects had acute inflammatory reaction, 80% chronic inflammatory reaction and 100% showed bone destruction and reparation process. In the cepea extract group, these values were fibrosis score 4.2 points, 0% acute inflammatory reaction, 33.3% chronic inflammatory reaction and 10% bone destruction and reparation process, respectively. CONCLUSION: This study showed that aloe cepea extract-allantoin and heparin mixture diminished epidural scarring formation effectively with decreased scores of acute and chronic inflammation, compared to the physiological saline solution group.

Özet

AMAÇ: Hemilaminektomi sonrası gelişen epidural fibrosis, başarısız bel cerrahisi sendromuna neden olabilen ciddi bir sorundur. Epidural fibrozisin muhtemel mekanizmalarıyla ilgili birçok yazı mevcut olmakla birlikte önleyici cerrahi teknik veya tedavi halen bulunamamıştır. YÖNTEM VE GEREÇ: Dördüncü vertebra da rat hemilaminektomi modeli kullanıldı. Tedavi grubunda(n:10), laminektomi alanı steril cepea ekstresi, allantoin ve heparin karışımı ile dolduruldu. İkinci gruba da aynı cerrahi işlemler uygulandıktan sonra alan aynı hacimde serum fizyolojik ile dolduruldu. Altı haftalık takip sonrası hemilaminektomi alanları bir bütün olarak çıkarılarak histopatolojik olarak derecelendirildi. BULGULAR: Tedavi grubunda fibrosis derecesi 4,2 iken serum fizyolojik grubunda 10,3 olarak tespit edildi.Serum fizyolojik grubunda örneklerin %90’nında akut enflamatuvar reaksiyon, %80’ninde kronik enflamatuvar reaksiyon ve örnekleri tamamında kemik yıkım ve yapım süreçleri gözlendi. Cepea ektre grubunda örneklerin hiçbirinde (%0) akut enflamatuvar reaksiyon,%33,3 kronik enflamatuvar reaksiyon ve %10’nunda kemik yıkım ve yapımı tespit edildi. SONUÇ: Bu çalışma ile cepea ekstresi, allantoin ve heparin karışımının epidural fibrozisi serum fizyolojiğe kıyasla; akut ve kronik enflamasyonu puansal ve istatistiksel olarak ile anlamlı (p<0.05) biçimde azalttığı gösterilmiştir.
