Abstract

This retrospective study focuses on 110 cases of thoracolumbar trauma operated on between 2018 and 2022 in the neurosurgical emergency department. The objective is to analyze the complication rates of surgery for traumatic thoracolumbar spine pathology, identify high-risk patients and understand these complications in order to improve preoperative planning and advice to patients for better care. The results show that the frequency of complications of thoracolumbar spine surgery in this department was 28.18%. The average age of patients with complications was 41.5 years, with a male predominance (65%). The main complications were post-operative infections (38.70%) and discharge of pus through the surgical wound with infectious syndrome (32.35%). The most frequent pathological histories in patients were toxic habits (alcohol and chronic smoking), diabetes and psychiatric disorders.
