Clinical comparative analysis of robot-assisted and DSA-guided percutaneous balloon compression for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 8
Abstract
[Objective] To compare the advantages of robot assisted and DSA guided PBC for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. [Methods] A retrospective clinical analysis was conducted on 85 patients (28 in robot group and 57 in DSA group) who underwent robot assisted and DSA guided PBC surgery in a same center from September 2021 to February 2024. The single puncture success rate, improvement rate of VAS score, clinical efficacy rate, incidence of complications, average surgical time and fluoroscopy time were compared between the two groups. [Results] There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of single puncture success rate (96.43% vs. 84.21%), VAS improvement rate [88.9%(77.78%, 100.00%) vs. 88.89%(55.56%, 100.00%)], clinical effective rate (92.86% vs. 94.74%), and total incidence of complications (35.09% vs. 42.11%) (P>0.05). The average surgical time was significantly higher in the robot group [38.50 (35.00, 48.00) min] than the DSA group [19.00 (15.00, 25.50) min], and the average fluoroscopy time in the robot group[13.00 (12.00,15.75) s] was significantly lower than the DSA group [194.00 (152.50, 259.50) s]. The difference in average surgical and fluoroscopy time between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). [Conclusion] DSA guided surgery has more advantages in centers with a large number of patients and a pursuit of efficiency. The robot assisted surgical puncture process is safe and controllable and patient radiation exposure time is short,thereby having high clinical application and promotion value.
