Total en-bloc spondylectomy through a posterior approach: technique and surgical outcome in thoracic metastases

Total en-bloc spondylectomy through a posterior approach: technique and surgical outcome in thoracic metastases

Acta Neurochirurgica (2018) 160:1373–1376

In 1981, Roy-Camille et al. have firstly reported the total en-bloc spondylectomy (TES) through a posterior approach for cases of malignant spine tumors in order to reduce the local recurrence and to increase the patient’s survival. By then, this surgery has been increasingly gaining recognition. However, it requires a high level of technical ability…

Stabilization of Tumor-Associated Craniovertebral Junction Instability

Stabilization of Tumor-Associated Craniovertebral Junction Instability

Neurosurgery 81:251–258, 2017

Whether primary or metastatic, tumors of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) are rare and challenging.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the surgical indications, operative variables, and outcomes in patients with tumors of the CVJ undergoing occipitocervical (OC) stabilization.

METHODS: A single-institution, retrospective case series was performed from a prospectively…

Consensus guidelines for postoperative spine SBRT

Consensus guidelines for postoperative spine SBRT

J Neurosurg Spine 26:299–306, 2017

Although postoperative stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for spinal metastases is increasingly performed, few guidelines exist for this application. The purpose of this study is to develop consensus guidelines to promote safe and effective treatment for patients with spinal metastases.

METHODS Fifteen radiation oncologists and 5 neurosurgeons,…
