Controversies in Brachial Plexus Surgery • • • WHEN? WHETHER? HOW? Conservative management of 3-4 months prior to operative exploration. No spontaneous recovery operative planning Kim et al. J Neurosurg, 2003; 98:1005-1016 BP SURGERY: UP-TO-DATE PRIMARY or EARLY REPAIR (>72 hours-2/3 weeks) Neurotmesis (nerve sharply divided) ASAP Physical Therapy Nerve contused, epineurium ragged → end-to-end suture, auto/allografts, tubulizations SECUNDARY or DELAYED REPAIR (late<8-12 months, very late> 12 months) Closed injuries, partial nerve defects, after time (≥ 4 months) for spontaneous recovery and full clinical /neurophysiological evaluation of nerve functions. → surgical exploration (to determine the anatomic extent of the lesion): neurolisys, end-to-end/endo-to-side repair, neurotizations, tubulizations, auto/allografts, resection of neuroma in continuity, direct muscle neurotization Kim et al. J Neurosurg. 2003; 98:1005-1016 Brachial Plexus: SURGICAL OUTCOMES • 1019 operative BPIs were managed at Lousiana State Universisty Health Sciende Center in 30 years • Infraclavicular stretch injury (less frequent-28%, than supraclavicular-72%) are technically more difficult to treat and are associated with a higher incidence of vascular and dislocation/fraction injuries. Better PROGNOSIS: lateral/posterior Poor PROGNOSIS: Neurosurg Focus. 2004 May 15;16(5). Kim et al. medial cord. •Increased incidence and indications for surgery (>graft repair and neurotization) during recent years. •Open injuries have better outcomes (78%) than strech injuries (58%). •Only 22% patients become totally and permanently disabled. •Conclusion: an aggressive surgical approach in a specialized center remains appropriate. Problemi aperti • Mancanza di omogeneità di timing chirurgico in PB (3-6 mesi; < 12 mesi, > 12 mesi). • Follow up brevi per la valutazione del recupero (outcome finale valutabile solo dopo 2-3 anni dall’intervento/trauma). • Imprecisa valutazione dei risultati (definiti spesso “positivi” o “negativi” senza scelta di outcome standardizzati e omogenei). 1) Protocolli operativi “interdisciplinari” Chirurgia • PRIMARIA (0-20 gg): es. lesioni aperte. • SECONDARIA (lesioni chiuse): in assenza di segni clinici e elettrofisiologici di recupero dopo 6 - 8 mesi di osservazione → esplorazione chirurgica NB: importanti dati su follow up lunghi (> 1 anno). 2) Aggiornamento studi collaborativi: STUDIO MARKERS ELETTROFISIOLOGICI PROGNOSTICI DI RECUPERO NELLE NEUROPATIE TRAUMATICHE • Stardardized AAN EMG protocol (Ferrante, Wilbourn, 2002) • TIMING : A and B groups A) All suspected traumatic neuropathies (closed injuries) B) Primary surgery (open injuries). 2) Aggiornamento studi collaborativi: STUDIO MARKERS ELETTROFISIOLOGICI PROGNOSTICI DI RECUPERO NELLE NEUROPATIE TRAUMATICHE 14 centri Centri aderenti Comitato Etico Torino-CTO APPROVATO Torino-Molinette APPROVATO Palermo-Villa Sofia APPROVATO Torino-Maria Vittoria richiesto Piacenza richiesto Padova richiesto Roma-Don Carlo Gnocchi Genova-S.
