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