Clinical Application And Analysis Of Lumbar Continuous Drainage Of Fluid In Neurosurgery

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of the application of lumbar continuous drainage of fluid in neurosurgery.Methods: Retrospective analysis the clinical data of 83 cases which performed lumbar continuous drainage of fluid in our department from January 2010 to February 2011. including intracranial infection 24 cases, subarachnoid hemorrhage 26 cases, communicating hydrocephalus 10 cases, ventricle hematoma 9 cases, mass in intracranial 12 cases, cerebrospinal rhinorrhea 2 cases.Results: 22 cases were cured in the 24 cases of intracranial infection, 2 cases were dead. 24 cases were cured in the 26 cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage, 2 cases were dead. 8 cases were cured in the 10 cases of communicating hydrocephalus, and 2 cases were performed V-P shunt after improving. 8 cases were cured in the 9 cases of ventricle hematoma, 1 case discharged after improving. 2 cases were dead of the mass in intracranial 12 cases, and the 10 cases were cured. The 2 cases of cerebrospinal rhinorrhea were all cured. There is no severe complications ,such as intracranial infection and brain hernia, caused by lumbar continuous drainage of fluid. The 6 dead cases were independence with the lumbar continuous drainage of fluid.Conclusions: The lumbar continuous drainage of fluid is a safe,effective and micro-damage method. It can be used to treat many common diseases in neurosurgery, such as intracranial infection, subarachnoid hemorrhage, communicating hydrocephalus and so on.Objective: To investigate the clinical value of the application of lumbar continuous drainage of fluid in keyhole approach operations.Methods: Retrospective analysis the clinical data of 31 keyhole approach operations which performed lumbar continuous drainage of fluid in our department from January 2010 to February 2011.including intracranial aneurysm 21 cases, mass in intracranial 10 cases.Results : 1 case of intracranial aneurysms died after discharge,and the left 20 cases were cured. 1 case of mass in intracranial died and the others were cured. There is no severe complications, such as intracranial infection and brain hernia, caused by lumbar continuous drainage of fluid. The 2 dead cases were independence with the lumbar continuous drainage of fluid.Conclusions: The lumbar continuous drainage of fluid is a safe, effective and micro-damage method. It is valuable to be used in the keyhole approach operations .
