Today, I will share a case of complex vertebral fracture: an elderly patient in the Second Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University was finally ruptured, the degree of compression was severe, and he could not lie prone due to a huge tumor of the breast.
Preoperatively. 
Intraoperatively. 
Yesterday, after surgery**, the lateral decubitus vertebroplasty was successfully completed. So, what are the conditions that need to be met for minimally invasive surgery in the elderly?
Minimally invasive surgery for the elderly requires a few of the following, but the specifics may vary depending on the type of surgery, the overall health of the elderly, and the doctor's assessment
1.Health Assessment: The doctor will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the overall health status of the elderly, including the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, liver and kidney function, etc. Stable health can increase the safety of the procedure.
2.Anesthesia fitness: The anesthesiologist will assess the tolerance of the elderly to anesthesia and ensure safety during the anesthesia process.
3.Surgical suitability: The suitability of the procedure depends on the specific type of minimally invasive surgery. Doctors consider the complexity of the surgery, the physical capacity of the elderly, and the benefits of the surgery to the condition.
4.Comorbidity control: If the elderly have other chronic diseases or comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc., these diseases need to be controlled within a stable range to reduce the risk of surgery.
Minimally invasive surgery usually has less trauma and recovery time, but for the elderly, surgical risks remain. The doctor will conduct a comprehensive assessment according to the specific situation of the elderly, and fully communicate and discuss with the family to weigh the pros and cons of the surgery. Family members can actively participate in the decision-making process and work with doctors to develop the most suitable plan for the elderly.
