Complete removal of the spinal nerve sheath tumors. Surgical technics and results from a series of 30 patients

Objective: Observe whether a microsurgical gross total removal (GTR) of a spinal nerve sheath tumors (SNSTs) is safe and decreases the tumor recurrence. Method: We identify 30 patients with 44 SNSTs. Results: We operated upon 15 males and 15 females patients; mean age 40 years. GTR was achiev...

description Objective: Observe whether a microsurgical gross total removal (GTR) of a spinal nerve sheath tumors (SNSTs) is safe and decreases the tumor recurrence. Method: We identify 30 patients with 44 SNSTs. Results: We operated upon 15 males and 15 females patients; mean age 40 years. GTR was achieved in 29 (96.6%) instances. Surgical mortality was 3.3% and the recurrence rate was 3.3%. The median follow-up time was 6.2 years. Conclusion: The surgical approach used in this group of patients afford that the great majority of tumors could be totally removed with low mortality and low recurrence rates, proving to be safe and effective.
