Abstract
Extradural spinal tumors pose significant challenges due to their location and potential neurological implications. Recent advancements in minimally invasive techniques, particularly endoscopic surgery, have transformed the management of these tumors, offering improved outcomes with reduced morbidity. Despite these advancements, a knowledge gap remains regarding the optimal surgical approach, long-term efficacy, and comparative outcomes with traditional open surgery. This study explores the endoscopic surgical treatment of extradural spinal tumors, evaluating its efficacy, safety, and clinical outcomes. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing endoscopic resection of extradural spinal tumors, assessing intraoperative complications, neurological recovery, and recurrence rates. Findings indicate that endoscopic surgery provides enhanced visualization, minimal disruption of surrounding structures, and faster postoperative recovery compared to conventional techniques. Moreover, improved neurological function and lower complication rates underscore its viability as a preferred approach. The results contribute to existing literature by validating the effectiveness of endoscopic techniques while highlighting areas requiring further investigation, such as long-term recurrence and functional recovery. These findings have significant clinical implications, advocating for the broader adoption of endoscopic techniques in spinal tumor management and shaping future surgical protocols.
