Symptomatic Spinal Metastasis (SSM): severe back pain or neurological deficits
Radiation therapy
Pain improvement : 80%
External beam radiotherapy (EBRT)Main role of radiation therapy
Stephen L. et a. ASTRO, 2011
Acute complication (25-30%): nausea, vomit, general fatigue
Late complication (5%): radiation ulcer, vertebral fracture
83 years old male, colon cancer
Postoperative 3 months after radiation therapy for T1 metastasis
Wound dehiscence67years old female, RCC
Postoperative 17 months after radiation therapy for L2 metastasis

No significant risk factors
Curved skin incision (CSI)
Can the skin incision avoiding RT area decrease the wound dehiscence?
Skin incision and exposure
Radiation therapySkin incision and exposure
Results of CSI
16 patients
No wound dehiscence
Ecchymoma: 2 patients
