  • Title: [Resection of hemivertebrae. A review of seven cases (author's transl)].
    Author: Bergoin M, Allal M, Scheiner JP, Yaffi D, Gueran N.
    Journal: Rev Chir Orthop Reparatrice Appar Mot; 1981; 67(4):485-93. PubMed ID: 6456526.
    Abstract:
    The technique used by the authors for removal of hemivertebrae is fully described. Two approaches are made, one posterior and one lateral at the same surgical session. This allows satisfactory control of roots, medulla and radicular vessels. The indications are described with reference to the age of the patient, the level of the lesion and the type of anomaly. It is concluded that it is a valuable procedure in progressive severe congenital scoliosis. 7 cases are reported without any neurological complication.
