Abstract
To describe the ultrasound-guided microsurgical excision technique and to evaluate the surgical outcomes of brachial plexus schwannomas. Eleven patients who underwent ultrasound-guided microsurgery for small ( < 3 cm) brachial plexus schwannomas between 2013 and 2017 were included in our study. The mean age of the patients was 45 years (range: 30-68 years), with six tumors localized on the right and five on the left side. There were no perioperative or postoperative complications. No postoperative deficits were observed in the patients. Surgeons can safely and completely excise most of the benign ( < 3 cm and non-palpable) brachial plexus tumors by the ultrasound-guided microsurgical excision technique.
