Complete removal of the spinal nerve sheath tumors. Surgical technics and results from a series of 30 patients.

OBJECTIVE Observe whether a microsurgical gross total removal (GTR) of a spinal nerve sheath tumors (SNSTs) is safe and decreases the tumor recurrence. METHOD We identify 30 patients with 44 SNSTs. RESULTS We operated upon 15 males and 15 females patients; mean age 40 years. GTR was achieved in 29 (96.6%) instances. Surgical mortality was 3.3% and the recurrence rate was 3.3%. The median fo...
