A minimally invasive lateral approach was used to resect a large dumbbell-shaped nerve sheath tumor at the L1/L2 spine. This approach provided excellent access and preserved motor function, improving radicular pain and neurological deficits.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Spinal Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Techniques
Background:
- Dumbbell-shaped nerve sheath tumors at the thoracolumbar junction can be challenging to access surgically.
- Traditional surgical approaches may require extensive spinal instrumentation and facetectomy.
