Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The less allowable blood loss and tolerance of intraoperative blood loss of children lead to the high rate of massive blood transfusion. The surgical concepts of en bloc resection may contribute to the improvement of brain tumor resection. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of en bloc concept on short outcomes of pediatric brain tumors and factors associated with the application of en bloc concept. METHODS: According to the surgical concept involved, the patients were divided into three subgroups-complete en bloc concept, partial en bloc concept and piecemeal concept. The matching-comparison(en bloc group consisting of the first two subgroups and piecemeal group) was conducted to investigate the effect of the en bloc concept on the short-term outcomes. Then the patient data after January 2018, when the en bloc concept was routinely integrated into brain tumor surgery in our medical center, were reviewed and analyzed to find out the predictors associated with the application of en bloc concept. RESULTS: In the en bloc group, the perioperative outcomes, including hospital stay(p=0.001), PICU stay(p=0.003), total blood loss(p=0.015), transfusion rate(p=0.005) and complication rate(p=0.039), were all significantly improved. The multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that tumor volume, bottom vessel, and imaging features, like encasing nerve or pass-by vessel, finger-like attachment, ratio of “limited line” and ratio of “clear line” remained independent predictors for the application of en bloc concept in our medical center. CONCLUSION: The application of en bloc concept based on the imaging features can improve the short-term outcomes.
