Abstract

Effective treatment of primary and localized secondary tumors of thoracic and lumbar spine is one of complex problem in spinal surgery. Lack of surgical radicalism with leaving tumor fragment in situ due to problems of differentiation tumor and non-tumor tissue, absence of clear dissection plane are the main causes of high rate of local neoplastic recurrence, up to 54–89% according to literature data. Wide and marginal tumor resection with obeying principles of oncologic barriers and compartment is the only method of surgical prophylaxis of local recurrence. Development of total spondylectomy technique in surgical treatment of primary and localized secondary tumors of thoracic and lumbar spine is the way to achieve maximal control of aggressive spine tumors growth.
