    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Spinal Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Thoracic disc herniations can lead to severe neurological deficits due to vascular compression.
    • Traditional surgical approaches had limitations in managing these complex cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of new surgical techniques on the management of thoracic disc herniations.
    • To highlight the role of advanced imaging and microsurgery in improving patient outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 21 patients operated for thoracic disc herniations between 1960 and 1985.
    • Application of transverso-arthropediculectomy technique.
    • Utilized advanced radiological examinations and surgical microscopes.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • New operative techniques expanded indications for surgical intervention.
    • Improved diagnostic accuracy through enhanced radiological examinations.
    • Microsurgical techniques allowed for surgical treatment without preoperative spinal angiography.

    Conclusions:

    • Advancements in surgical techniques and imaging have significantly improved the management of thoracic disc herniations.
    • Transverso-arthropediculectomy and microsurgery offer safer and more effective treatment options.
    • Early and precise diagnosis combined with advanced surgical methods can prevent irreversible neurological damage.
