The average duration of treatment was 7.75\u2005\u00b1\u200510.19 months. Among the patients, there were 2 cases of thoracolumbar and 6 cases of lumbar spine involvement, with 6 cases affecting a single segment and 2 cases involving 2 segments. The total number of affected vertebrae included 4 thoracic, 12 lumbar, and 2 sacral vertebrae. All patients received standardized quadruple antituberculosis treatment (HRZE scheme). Specific postural drainage paths and catheter placement locations were determined based on clinical imaging results, and percutaneous catheter placement was performed with the assistance of foraminoscopy. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, Visual Analogue Scale score, American Spinal Cord Injury Association score, and Oswestry function index were statistically analyzed before, after postural drainage, and at the final follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Outcomes:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The average operation time was 44.38\u2005\u00b1\u200510.50 minutes, with a blood loss of 6.88\u2005\u00b1\u20052.59\u2009mL. The average catheter drainage time was 13.25\u2005\u00b1\u20054.95 days, and the follow-up period ranged from 36 to 122 months. The average total drainage volume was 281.25\u2005\u00b1\u2005167.69\u2009mL.
