Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Traditional surgical approaches for paravertebral tumors carry risks of visceral and lumbar plexus injury.
  • Developing safer, more effective surgical techniques for spinal tumors is crucial.

Observation:

  • The study describes the application of a lateral transpsoas approach for paraspinal tumor resection.
  • Both open and minimally invasive transpsoas techniques were utilized in two illustrative cases.

Findings:

  • Gross-total resection of tumors was achieved in both cases.
  • Patients experienced resolution of presenting neurological symptoms post-surgery.
  • One patient had a conservatively managed asymptomatic retroperitoneal hematoma, requiring a brief extension of hospitalization.

Implications:

  • The lateral transpsoas approach is a viable and safe option for paravertebral tumor resection.
  • This technique may eliminate the need for a dedicated access surgeon.
  • Further research can explore the broader application and long-term outcomes of this approach.
