How Microsurgical/Endoscopic Resection or Fenestration of Spinal Canal Cyst is performed
Microscopic or endoscopic approaches can be selected according to the type and location of the cyst, and fenestration decompression or partial resection of the cyst wall can be used if necessary. During the operation, with the assistance of imaging and neuroelectrophysiological monitoring, the cyst wall is separated from the surrounding nerve tissue, the compression is relieved, hemostasis and tight sutures are performed, and drainage is placed as appropriate. Postoperative focus is on monitoring neurological function, incision, and the risk of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, with the goal of relieving compression and improving function. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocol.
