Özet
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the outcomes of wide resection for sacral osteoblastoma (OB). Materials and Methods: A review of our database revealed 6 cases of OB located in the sacrum. Localized pain in lesions that did not fully resolve although medical treatment was observed in all 6 cases. Surgical treatment consisted wide resection. The average time between diagnosis and surgery was 30 (24-36) months, and the average age at surgery was 14 (8-20) years. Results: Postoperatively, the mean follow-up period was 74.3 months (24-110). At final followup, we did not encounter any complications, recurrence, spinal instability, and neural damage were not observed as a result of the removal of lesions in the sacrum area. The preoperative mean Visual Analog Scale score was 8 before treatment and 0 at the final follow-up. Conclusion: Wide resection is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with sacral osteoblastoma.
