Abstract
Introduction. le but de cette étude était de décrire la prise en charge chirurgicale des traumatismes du rachis thoracique au Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sylvanus Olympio (CHU SO) de Lomé. Patients et méthodes. Il s’agit d’une étude descriptive monocentrique de novembre 2017 à Juin 2019, rétrospective et analytique des dossiers des patients hospitalisés pour traumatisme du rachis thoracique dans le service de Neurochirurgie du CHU SO de Lomé. Résultats. Quinze patients ont répondu aux critères d’inclusion. L’âge moyen des patients était de 37,29 ± 15,36 ans. Le traitement chirurgical a consisté en une ostéosynthèse par voie postérieure, avec un montage long chez 12 patients. Le délai moyen de prise en charge entre l’admission et la chirurgie était de 18,35 jours. Conclusion. Le traitement chirurgical des traumatismes du rachis thoracique est réalisé dans des délais qui pourraient être raccourcis. L’ostéosynthèse postérieure par visée pédiculaire semble donner de bons résultats.
ABSTRACT
Introduction. The aim of the study was to describe the management of thoracic spine trauma in the Sylvanus Olympio’s Teaching Hospital of Lomé. Patients and Methods. We studied characteristics of 15 patients admitted for thoracic spine fractures between November 2017 and June 2019, in our neurosurgery unit. Results. 12 patients underwent an extensive posterior arthrodesis. The mean age was 37.29 ± 15.36. The median time between diagnosis and surgery was 18.35 days. Conclusion. Surgical management of thoracic trauma is impaired by long delay time before surgery. Good results could be observed by improving timing of surgery.
