Study on the pathological diagnostic value of spinal tuberculosis lesions with different submitting methods and tissue types

Key Points

• To assess the impact of different tissue submission methods on the accuracy of pathological diagnosis for spinal tuberculosis (STB) lesions.
• Compared pathological diagnosis rates of separately submitted STB tissue specimens versus mixed submissions.
• Analyzed the accuracy of granulation tissue and vertebral bone tissue submissions.
• Utilized preoperative puncture for specimen collection.
• Higher pathological diagnosis accuracy for separately submitted tissue samples compared to mixed submissions.
• Granulation and vertebral bone tissues had the highest diagnostic rates.
• Separately submitting STB tissues can significantly improve diagnostic outcomes.
