Surgical treatment of the ventral intradural tumours on craniovertebral and upper cervical localization
Keywords:
far lateral and extreme lateral accesses, ventral, ventrolateral tumors of the spinal cordAbstract
The approach and surgical technique to extramedullar tumor of craniovertebral and upper cervical level depends on tumours localizations. The surgical approaches, which are used at craniovertebral and upper cervical level can be dividing to: dorsal, posterolateral, lateral, far lateral and extreme lateral. The adequate choice of the surgical approach first of all depends on localizations of the tumors, its size. The far-lateral and posterolateral approach in the most tumours is an optimum. These approaches can minimise surgical field, surgical dissection and improve clinical results.
