A Comparative Study of Anterior and Posterior Tuberculosis Lesions for the Treatment of Thoracolumbar Tuberculosis disease: A Single Institution Experience in a Major Academic Hospital

In the treatment of thoracolumbar tuberculosis disease, there is no significant difference in the clinical efficacy of anterior surgery and posterior surgery. Intraoperative bleeding in posterior surgery was less than in anterior surgery, but the latter showed a significant improvement in postoperative pain relief. Therefore, spinal surgeons should choose the corresponding surgical treatment according to the actual situation of the patient in order to maximize the efficacy.
