Material y Métodos: Evaluamos retrospectivamente la inserción de 422 TTP (T5 a S1) en 75 pacientes operados entre 2013-2016, bajo guía fluoroscópica bidimensional. El cirujano 1 colocó siempre los tornillos del lado derecho y el cirujano 2, la totalidad del lado izquierdo. El posicionamiento y ruptura pedicular fue determinando con la clasificación tomográfica de Gertzbein. Se comparó la precisión en la colocación de TTP de nuestra serie con una tasa de ruptura de 8,08% (rango de 0,67-20,83%), valor de referencia obtenido de un meta-análisis propio.
Resultados: De los 422 TTP, 395 fueron insertados en el pedículo sin violación de su cortical (Grado 1 = 93,6%), 27 (6,4%) rompieron la pared pedicular, de los cuales el 3,8% fue Grado 2, el 1,65% Grado 3 y sólo el 0,9% Grado 4. El Cirujano 1, presentó una tasa se ruptura global de 6,6%, alcanzando valores estándares de precisión al colocar 74 TTP; el Cirujano 2 presentó una tasa de ruptura de 6,1%, alcanzando valores de referencia a los 64 TTP; la diferencia entre ambos no fue estadísticamente significativa (p = 0,9009).
Conclusión: En la serie evaluada se evidenció que se necesitan colocar aproximadamente 70 TTP para lograr resultados en términos de exactitud intrapedicular comparables con lo reportado por cirujanos experimentados en esta técnica mínimamente invasiva. ]]>
