Background: Penetrating spinal cord injury (PSCI) with retained foreign bodies (RFB) is rarely observed in clinics and may result in a complete or incomplete neurological deficit. This study was performed to appraise the treatment effect of laminectomy for PSCI with RFB.Case Presentation: This study presented three patients referred to a tertiary hospital between August 2011 and October 2018 due to PSCI with RFB and receiving laminectomy. The first patient was a 25-year-old female with a butcher's knife piercing the T 9 lamina and T 10 vertebral body obliquely; the second was a 49-year-old male who suffered a perforating wound of the cervical spinal canal and injury of vertebral artery from foreign glass, while the third was a 60-year-old male with a wooden stick penetrating stomach and terminating in the L 1 lamina. The first and second patients immediately underwent laminectomy for debridement and removal of RFB, while the third received twostaged operations to remove the retained stick thoroughly. Unfortunately cases 1 and 3 eventually resulted in total paralysis and case 2 revealed no improvement in myodynamia. Then, Medline/PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched, and 23 articles involving 25 additional cases with this kind of injury were included for analysis. Conclusions:The optimal treatment strategy for penetrating spinal cord injury with retained foreign bodies remains challenging and should be assessed case-by-case. If possible, surgical removal of foreign bodies by laminectomy is preferred immediately to prevent delayed presentation and persistent contamination. Meanwhile, a multidisciplinary team is needed to address concomitant injuries.
