Implication

Retrospective cohort study reveals high complication rates but preserved long-term survival in spinal tumor patients, highlighting the procedural value of en bloc resection.

Key Points

To identify complication risk factors in en bloc resection of spinal tumors and determine whether survival benefits outweigh procedural risks.
Retrospectively analyzed prospectively collected data from 298 patients treated with en bloc spinal resection between 1980 and 2021 at a single institution.
Classified adverse events according to the SAVES-V2 system and estimated overall survival using the Kaplan-Meier method.
At least one complication occurred in 149 of 298 patients (50%), with 220 total adverse events recorded (67 intraoperative, 82 early postoperative, 71 late postoperative); 54% were grade 3 severity.
Ten-year overall survival reached 67% (95% CI 59–74%).
Tumor recurrence was significantly associated with increased mortality (OR 3.4, 95% CI 2.1–5.5), whereas surgical complications did not affect overall survival.
