摘要

Background

Schwannomas are the most common intrathoracic neurogenic tumors. In the past, they were often treated by traditional open surgery. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has also been used for some large tumors. Recently, minimally invasive posterior neurosurgical technique provides a new option for some of these tumors.

Method

Here, we describe the specific steps involved in the O-arm guided minimally invasive removal of intrathoracic epidural schwannoma, as well as its advantages and limitations.

Conclusion

O-arm guided minimally invasive resection of intrathoracic epidural schwannoma is safe and effective and causes little damage.
