The critical points were fabrication of the iliac graft, dissection, resection, and reconstruction. Other parameters including surgical time, blood loss, complications, pre- and postoperative neurological function, tumor control, and overall survival (OS) were presented and analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results.<\/jats:title>\n All the included patients received one stage TES. The mean surgical time was 365.7\u200aminutes with an average blood loss of 2514.3\u200amL. No serious perioperative complication was observed or reported during the mean follow-up period of 27.4 months. Wound disruption occurred in one patient and numbness of the left lower limb in another, but both recovered rapidly after appropriate management. Adventitial avulsion of the abdominal aorta occurred during dissection in one patient. Two patients died during the follow-up period due to advanced malignancy. One patient was alive but developed a newly diagnosed thoracolumbar tumor in 40 months. The other four patients recovered well without evidence of disease. All patients were able to walk independently 3 to 4 weeks after operation, with satisfied fusion of the iliac grafts in a mean period of 6.7 months after operation. No evidence of internal fixation failure occurred.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion.<\/jats:title>\n This new technique offers satisfactory surgical exposure, total en bloc spondylectomy, reliable reconstruction, and good tumor control for certain L5 tumors through the posterior-only approach.<\/jats:p>\n \n Level of Evidence:<\/jats:bold> 4<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/brs.0000000000003003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,3]],"date-time":"2019-03-03T05:27:48Z","timestamp":1551590868000},"page":"896-901","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["A Novel Technique for Total En bloc Spondylectomy of the Fifth Lumbar Tumor Through Posterior-Only Approach"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Xinghai","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Oncology, Changzheng Hospital, Navy Medical University, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Oncology, Changzheng Hospital, Navy Medical University, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Oncology, Changzheng Hospital, Navy Medical University, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nanzhe","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Oncology, Changzheng Hospital, Navy Medical University, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Jiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Oncology, Changzheng Hospital, Navy Medical University, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinbo","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Oncology, Changzheng Hospital, Navy Medical University, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dongyu","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Oncology, Changzheng Hospital, Navy Medical University, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weibo","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Oncology, Changzheng Hospital, Navy Medical University, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China"},{"name":"Department of Spine Surgery, Qingdao Central Hospital, Shibei District, Qingdao, Shandong Province, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Oncology, Changzheng Hospital, Navy Medical University, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianru","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Oncology, Changzheng Hospital, Navy Medical University, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20240205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e3181cded6c","article-title":"Total en bloc spondylectomy of the lower lumbar spine: a surgical techniques of combined posterior-anterior approach","volume":"36","author":"Kawahara","year":"2011","journal-title":"Spine (Phila Pa 1976)"},{"issue":"( suppl)","key":"R2-20240205","first-page":"264","article-title":"Total en bloc lumbar spondylectomy.
