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.
描述超声引导下的显微手术切除技术,并评估臂丛神经鞘瘤的手术效果。
我们的研究纳入了2013年至2017年间接受超声引导下显微手术治疗小型(<3 cm)臂丛神经鞘瘤的11例患者。
患者的平均年龄为45岁(范围:30 - 68岁),6例肿瘤位于右侧,5例位于左侧。无围手术期或术后并发症。患者未观察到术后功能缺损。
外科医生可通过超声引导下的显微手术切除技术安全、完整地切除大多数良性(<3 cm且不可触及)臂丛神经肿瘤。
