Endoscopic assisted posterior decompression for spinal neoplasms.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors describe a technique for anterior thoracic decompression via a posterolateral approach for spinal metastatic disease followed by anterior and posterior column stabilization. We discuss the benefits of decompression via a posterolateral approach including minimization of cord retraction, avoidance of thoracotomy, early mobilization and shorter hospital stay. Technical details are reviewed and difficulties of the approach discussed.

Background: Endoscopic Cervical Discectomy has replaced many open fusion related surgery and bone grafting. Endoscopic surgery is without the placement of retractor and only need a working sheath diameter of about 7 mm incision, which is simple, easy to access with proper visualization. Minimal invasive surgery helped advancement in surgery by improvement in visualization. Depend on extend of l...
