[Efficacy of microscopic surgery for cervical peripheral nerve tumors]

The clinical treatment and follow-up results of 51 patients with cervical peripheral nerve tumors treated by microsurgery in the Department of Neurosurgery of Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2016 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Total tumor resection was performed in 49 patients (96.1%), and 42 patients (82.4%) had no obvious neurological impairment. During the follow-up of the 45 cases, 43 cases had no recurrence in situ. Two cases had recurrence (residues from the initial surgery) and accepted the reoperation. Microsurgery of cervical peripheral nerve tumor, combined with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, can remove the tumor to the greatest extent and protect the important peripheral blood vessels and nerves. The clinical efficacy and follow-up results are good.
