Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Craniovertebral Junction Abnormalities

Background:

  • Odontoidectomy is the standard treatment for irreducible ventral cervical-medullary compression.
  • The endonasal endoscopic approach presents a novel minimally invasive alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define indications for the endonasal endoscopic approach in odontoidectomy.
  • To discuss technique variations for craniovertebral malformations with platybasia.
  • To evaluate the benefits and challenges of this innovative surgical technique.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical conditions favoring the endoscopic endonasal approach.
  • Discussion of surgical technique adaptations for specific craniovertebral pathologies.
  • Comparative analysis of endoscopic endonasal versus standard odontoidectomy approaches.

Main Results:

  • The endoscopic endonasal approach is indicated in select patients with specific craniovertebral junction anatomy.
  • Technical challenges are outweighed by patient benefits in suitable cases.
  • The approach is considered complementary to, not a replacement for, traditional methods.

Conclusions:

  • The endoscopic endonasal approach is a valuable, albeit specialized, technique for odontoidectomy.
  • Patient selection and anatomical considerations are crucial for successful outcomes.
  • This approach expands treatment options for ventral cervical-medullary compression.
