An Extremely Giant Lumbar Schwannoma: New Classification (Kotil) and Mini-Open Microsurgical Resection
Purely extradural giant lumbar schwannomas are rare lesions. Classification of these tumors is performed according to the sizes and spills and is named the modified Sridhar's classification. The management of these tumors has traditionally been performed by combined antero-posterior large or two-stage exposures. This combined exposure has many disadvantages. Recent reports have demonstrated the...
متن کاملModified Mini-open Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion

OBJECTIVE To describe a modified technique for mini-open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) that improves visualization for decompression, fusion, and freehand pedicle screw insertion. Accuracy of freehand pedicle screw placement with this technique was assessed. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Mini-open TLIF is a minimally invasive technique th...
متن کاملMinimally invasive removal of a giant extradural lumbar foraminal schwannoma
BACKGROUND Purely extradural lumbar schwannomas are rare lesions. Resection traditionally requires an open laminectomy and ipsilateral complete facectomy. Recent reports have demonstrated safety and efficacy of removal of these tumors using mini-open access devices with expandable retractors. We report a case of a giant L3 schwannoma successfully resected through a minimally invasive approach u...
متن کاملLaparoscopic resection of a giant retroperitoneal melanotic schwannoma
Background Retroperitoneal schwannomas are extremely rare, as they account for only 3% of retroperitoneal tumors. Clinical symptoms are nonspecific and of late onset, meaning that these tumors are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Surgical resection is required for histological diagnosis and to prevent possible malignant transformation. Celioscopy offers numerous benefits, reducing postoperative ...
متن کاملSafety and Efficacy of Mini Open Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion
OBJECTIVE Mini-transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (Mini-TLIF) and other minimally invasive approaches introduced for the purpose of treating lumbar degenerative disc disease and instability are achieving high success and safety rates as the conventional approaches. Moreover, it has less soft tissue damage, minimal blood loss, and less hospital stay. METHODS A prospective study was conduct...
