Study summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate if wound drains could influence postoperative spinal epidural hematoma (POSEH) in biportal endoscopic spinal surgery (BESS) procedures for decompression of lumbar spinal stenosis.

Read the detailed description

How to reduce the rate of POSEH after lumbar spinal surgery is an obvious concern for spine surgeon. Wound drains were recognized as effective methods and typically used to prevent the development of symptomatic epidural hematomas after spinal surgery. However, whether range prophylactic postoperative drainage after spinal decompression for the prevention of POSEH is still controversial. Although there have been many studies focusing on the potential associations between wound drains and POSEH after lumbar spinal surgery, a prospective study focusing on the role of drains in minimally invasive surgery of BESS for lumbar spinal decompression has been rare. In present study, our team sought to investigate the influence of wound drains for POSEH and provide clinical evidence for the selection of drainage in BESS procedures for the decompression of lumbar spinal stenosis.

Inclusion criteria

All patients with two level lumbar stenosis and neurogenic claudication with or without lumbar radiculopathy were eligible for inclusion.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients were excluded if radiography revealed lumbar instability (motion of >3mm at the level of listhesis), if they had had previous lumbar spinal surgery, or they had (ASA) class Ⅳ or severe systemic disease.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ASA physical status

The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 4, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
