    Summary

    This study details a surgical technique for spinal decompression, involving precise bone and ligament dissection to access the spinal cord. Post-operative recovery allows for restored vertebral column motility.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Anatomy

    Context:

    • The surgical approach focuses on the posterior elements of the thoracic vertebrae.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are crucial for spinal procedures to reduce patient morbidity.
    • Understanding vertebral anatomy is key for safe and effective spinal cord access.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a detailed surgical method for exposing the spinal cord.
    • To outline the steps for creating dural flaps for spinal cord visualization.
    • To present a method for reconstructing the posterior vertebral wall after decompression.

    Summary:

    • A posterior median incision exposes the spinous processes (T4-T6).
    • Subperiosteal dissection isolates vertebral arches, followed by osteotomies from the articular processes.
    • A pi-shaped or H-shaped dural flap is created for spinal cord access, with subsequent anatomical reconstruction and fixation.

    Impact:

    • This technique facilitates direct visualization and potential treatment of spinal cord pathologies.
    • The described reconstruction method aims to ensure stability and promote functional recovery.
    • Successful implementation can lead to improved patient outcomes in spinal decompression surgeries.
