Lateral Approach to the Cervical Spine to Manage Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy and Radiculopathy.
Acta Neurochir Suppl
December 2023
Department of Neurosurgery, Strasbourg University Hospital, Strasbourg, France.
Background: The cervical lateral approach can enlarge the spinal canal and foramen to achieve an effective neural decompression without needing spine stabilization. For this review, the authors' main objective was to illustrate the rationale, advantages, disadvantages, complications, and pitfalls of this technique, highlighting also areas for future development.
Materials And Methods: A Medline via PubMed database search was carried out by using both keywords, namely "cervical oblique corpectomy," "multilevel oblique corpectomy and foraminotomy," and "lateral vertebrectomy," and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms from 1 January 1991, up to 31 December 2021.
Direct cochlear nerve stimulation monitoring through evoked muscle responses during retrosigmoid vestibular schwannoma resection surgery: technical note.
J Neurosurg
February 2023
1Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospital of Lausanne and University of Lausanne.
Objective: Cochlear nerve preservation during surgery for vestibular schwannoma (VS) may be challenging. Brainstem auditory evoked potentials and cochlear compound nerve action potentials have clearly shown their limitations in surgeries for large VSs. In this paper, the authors report their preliminary results after direct electrical intraoperative cochlear nerve stimulation and recording of the postauricular muscle response (PAMR) during resection of large VSs.

Article Synopsis
- The IMTAR technique was developed for removing spinal intradural lesions, and researchers compared results from patients using either 2D or 3D fluoroscopic guidance over a 14-year study involving 60 patients.
- The study found that the majority of patients (86.7%) underwent gross-total resection, with a low rate of neurological complications and tumor recurrence across both techniques, indicating similar effectiveness.
- The IMTAR method resulted in significantly less bone resection compared to the non-IMTAR approach, highlighting its potential benefits in optimizing surgical outcomes while reducing risks.
