Endoscopic odontoidectomy offers an effective alternative to traditional transoral surgery for basilar invagination. This minimally invasive approach, including transnasal, transoral, and transcervical techniques, presents advantages for cervicomedullary compression.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Spine Surgery

Background:

  • Transoral microscopic odontoidectomy with posterior fixation is a long-standing treatment for nonreducible basilar invagination.
  • Advancements in endoscopic techniques are challenging traditional treatment paradigms for cervicomedullary compression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of endoscopic transnasal odontoidectomy.
  • To compare endoscopic approaches with the traditional transoral method for irreducible ventral cervicomedullary junction compression.

Main Methods:

  • Review of endoscopic odontoidectomy techniques, including transnasal, transoral, and transcervical approaches.
  • Analysis of advantages and limitations of each endoscopic approach compared to the transoral route.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic transnasal odontoidectomy is a feasible and effective treatment for irreducible ventral cervicomedullary junction compression.
  • Endoscopic approaches offer distinct advantages over the traditional transoral route.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic odontoidectomy represents a significant advancement in treating basilar invagination and cervicomedullary compression.
  • The decision for posterior fixation post-odontoidectomy requires individualized assessment based on patient-specific anatomy and clinical status.
