Although several cases of a dumbbell tumor of thoracic nerve roots have been reported, reports on the surgical procedures for a dumbbell tumor of the first thoracic (T1) nerve root are rare. Surgeons should be cautious, especially when performing a surgical procedure for a dumbbell tumor of the T1 nerve root because the tumor is anatomically located adjacent to important organs and because the T1 nerve root composes the lower trunk of the brachial plexus with the eighth cervical nerve root. We present cases with dumbbell tumors of the T1 nerve root that were treated with combined surgical treatment to remove the tumor. We first performed videoassisted thoracic surgery (VATS) to release the organs anteriorly and then performed posterior spinal surgery in the prone position. The combined VATS and posterior spinal surgery may become a standard surgical procedure for the treatment of dumbbell tumors of the T1 nerve root.

Study Design: Clinical case series.Purpose: This study aimed to report dynamization–posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), our surgical treatment for hemodialysisrelated spondyloarthropathy (HSA), and investigate patients’ postoperative course within 2 years.Overview of Literature: HSA often requires lumbar fusion surgery. Conventional PLIF for HSA may cause progressive destructive changes in the vertebral endplate, leading to progressive cage subsidence, pedicle screw loosening, and pseudoarthrosis. A dynamic stabilization system might be effective in patients with a poor bone quality. Thus, we performed “dynamization–PLIF” in hemodialysis patients with destructive vertebral endplate changes.Methods: We retrospectively examined patients with HSA who underwent dynamization–PLIF at our hospital between April 2010 and March 2018. The radiographic measurements included lumbar lordosis and local lordosis in the fused segment. The evaluation points were before surgery, immediately after surgery, 1 year after surgery, and 2 years after surgery. The preoperative and postoperative radiographic findings were compared using a paired t-test. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.Results: We included 50 patients (28 males, 22 females). Lumbar lordosis and local lordosis were significantly improved through dynamization– PLIF (lumbar lordosis, 28.4°–35.5°; local lordosis, 2.7°–12.8°; <i>p</i><0.01). The mean local lordosis was maintained throughout the postoperative course at 1- and 2-year follow-up (12.9°–12.8°, p=0.89 and 12.9°–11.8°, <i>p</i>=0.07, respectively). Solid fusion was achieved in 59 (89%) of 66 fused segments. Solid fusion of all fixed segments was achieved in 42 cases (84%). Within 2 years postoperatively, only six cases (12%) were reoperated (two, surgical debridement for surgical site infection; two, reoperation for pedicle screw loosening; one, laminectomy for epidural hematoma; one, additional fusion for adjacent segment disease).Conclusions: Dynamization–PLIF showed local lordosis improvement, a high solid fusion rate, and a low reoperation rate within 2 years of follow-up.
