Pediatric Neurosurgery
Spinal Surgery

Background:

Split cord malformation (SCM) is a congenital anomaly.
Type 1 SCM involves a bony spur, posing surgical challenges.
Standard excision methods risk damage to neural elements.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel surgical technique for Type 1 split cord malformation.
To describe the use of fine-tipped microrongeurs for bony spur excision.
To highlight the safety and efficacy of this new approach.

Main Methods:

Description of a novel surgical technique using fine-tipped slender microrongeurs.
Detailed explanation of surgical nuances for navigating confined spaces.
Emphasis on protecting adjacent hemicords during excision.

Main Results:

The microrongeur technique allows safe negotiation of narrow surgical confines.
Adjacent hemicords are effectively protected during bony spur removal.
The method facilitates challenging dissections in Type 1 SCM.

Conclusions:

Fine-tipped microrongeurs provide a valuable alternative for bony spur excision in Type 1 SCM.
This novel approach enhances surgical safety and precision.
Further studies can validate this technique in larger cohorts.
