Anterior Cervicothoracic Junction Approach
Surgical approaches to the cervicothoracic junction frequently involve complicated dissection because of the restricted accessibility during the procedure and the close proximity of the great vessels. Common indications for surgical intervention include infections, neoplasms, and fractures. Approaches described here are useful for pathologies of the difficult-to-access upper thoracic spine (T1–...
متن کاملMini Open Foraminotomy (MOF) for Cervical Radiculopathy: Technical Note
Background: Favorable surgical results had been reported in cervical posterior foraminotomy using endoscopy; however, the learning curve for the surgeon is steep. We therefore developed a procedure that can be performed more easily and with small incision, called “Mini Open Foraminotomy (MOF)”, using a tubular retractor (22mm diameter) under direct vision. The purpose of this study was to demon...
متن کاملAnterior Trans Cervicothoracic Approach for Complete Resection of Cervicothoracic Mediastinal Neurogenic Tumors
Introduction:Neurogenic mediastinal tumors comprise a wide range of benign and malignant diseases. A group of these tumors, located at thoracic apex, sometimes spread to cervical spaces causing numerous surgical difficulties. In thoracotomy approaches, due to proximity of the tumors to major blood vessels, complete removal of these tumors from cervical spaces is impossible or may cause intraope...
متن کاملCombined approach for a locked unilateral facet fracture-dislocation of the cervicothoracic junction.
The authors present the case of a 36-year-old patient who sustained a unilateral fracture-dislocation C7-T1 involving all three columns, given the lesion of the C7-T1 disc on MRI. In view of the fractured facet, closed reduction without anaesthesia was not attempted. First, open reduction and instrumentation were performed from posteriorly. In a second operation, anterior fusion C7-T1 was added...
متن کاملClinical Features of Herniated Disc at Cervicothoracic Junction Level Treated by Anterior Approach
OBJECTIVE The anterior approach for C7-T1 disc herniation may be challenging because of obstruction by the manubrium and the narrow operative field. This study aimed to investigate the clinical and neurological outcomes of anterior approach for C7-T1 disc herniation. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 13 patients who underwent the anterior approach for C7-T1 disc herniation by a single surg...
