概要	The usefulness of spine stabilization for treating metastatic spinal tumors with tumor-induced instability has been reported. However, no reports have prospectively evaluated the effectiveness of adding posterior decompression to stabilization surgery for improving symptoms. This multicenter prospective study aimed to determine whether adding posterior decompression to spine stabilization surgery for metastatic spinal tumors affects postoperative outcomes and complications. A total of 263 patients who underwent spine stabilization with (n = 189) or without (n = 74) decompression were analyzed. Patient demographics, the Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS), and the Epidural Spinal Cord Compression (ESCC) score were recorded. The outcomes were assessed preoperatively and at 1 and 6 months postoperatively in terms of neurological status, the Barthel Index, the EQ-5D-5 L, and the visual analog scale (VAS). Decompression was primarily performed in patients with severe neurological deficits and high-grade ESCC. Both groups showed postoperative improvement. Propensity score matching was applied to adjust for baseline differences. After matching, there were no significant differences in functional improvement between the decompression and nondecompression groups, and the complication rates were comparable. In matched patients presenting primarily with spinal instability and pain, the addition of decompression did not appear to confer a significant functional benefit within 6 months postoperatively.
