Traditional treatment of these tumors includes standard fashion cut incision, open laminectomy, and some cases fusion.

All the patients underwent total resection with minimally invasive uniportal technique using a tree blade MAXCESS retractor system (Nuvasive, Inc.). We measured a VAS, Nurick scales pre-op, and with follow-up of 6 weeks, 3.6 and 12 months post-op. Surgical time, blood loss and time to discharge. All the patients underwent control MRI postoperatively. Results One patient neurenteric cyst, two patients: underwent neurocysticercosis, and the last epidermoid cyst. The VAS and Nurick …
