OBJECTIVE
Vertebral body sliding osteotomy (VBSO) is a surgical technique that anteriorly translates the vertebral body with compressive lesions and achieves cord decompression through canal widening. However, data on the surgical complications of VBSO are lacking. Furthermore, it has not been known whether VBSO could be a viable alternative in the treatment of cervical myelopathy even when the preoperative canal-occupying ratio (COR) is large, which seems to frequently result in incomplete canal widening. This study aimed to describe the incidence of VBSO-associated surgical complications and to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of incomplete canal widening.

A total of 109 patients who underwent VBSO to treat cervical myelopathy were retrospectively reviewed. Neck pain visual analog scale, Neck Disability Index, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores, and surgical complications were evaluated. For radiological evaluation, C2–7 lordosis, C2–7 sagittal vertical axis, and COR were measured. Patients with a preoperative COR < 50% (n = 60) and those with a COR ≥ 50% (n = 49) were compared and logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with incomplete canal widening.
RESULTS
The most frequent complication in the patients was mild dysphagia (7.3%). Dural tears were observed during posterior longitudinal ligament resection (n = 1) and foraminotomy (n = 1). Two patients underwent reoperation due to radiculopathy from adjacent-segment disease. Incomplete canal widening occurred in 49 patients. According to logistic regression analysis, high preoperative COR was the only factor associated with incomplete canal widening. The amount of canal widening and JOA recovery rate in the COR ≥ 50% group were significantly higher than in the COR < 50% group.
CONCLUSIONS
Mild dysphagia was the most common complication following VBSO. Although VBSO aims to decrease the complication rate of corpectomy, it was not free of dural tears. Special care would be required during the posterior longitudinal ligament resection. Incomplete canal widening occurred in 45.0% of patients, and high preoperative COR was the only risk factor for incomplete canal widening. However, high preoperative COR would not be a contraindication for VBSO, given that favorable clinical outcomes were presented in the COR ≥ 50% group.
