  • Title: Total en bloc lumbar spondylectomy. Case report.
    Author: Marmor E, Rhines LD, Weinberg JS, Gokaslan ZL.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 2001 Oct; 95(2 Suppl):264-9. PubMed ID: 11599851.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a technique for total en bloc spondylectomy that can be used for lesions involving the lumbar spine. The technique involves a combined anterior-posterior approach and takes into account the unique anatomy of the lumbar spine. This technique allows for the en bloc resection of lumbar vertebral tumors, thus optimizing outcome while minimizing the risk of neurological injury. The technique is described in detail with the aid of neuroimaging studies, photographs of gross pathological specimens, and illustrations, and a discussion of other authors' experiences is provided for comparison.
