Technical aspects of total spondylectomy of C2

CONCLUSIONS: Total spondylectomy of C2 is an exceptional surgical procedure associated with risk of serious complications but offers chance for a complete recovery of the patient. Defining indications accurately, especially in solitary metastases, is very difficult even with current level of imaging and other testing. The quality of life of long-term surviving patients in our study was not significantly impacted.PMID:36705618 | DOI:10.23736/S0390-5616.21.05443-6
