Microsurgical Intercapsular Resection Schwannoma Without Severing Nerve Fibers: A Technique of Using Only 2 Freer Dissectors
This method, using 2 Freer dissectors, does not require grasping the nerve with micro forceps, and it was possible to gently strip off the surrounding normal nerve fibers from the tumor, like peeling the skin of an onion. This is an extremely useful technique that can remove only the tumor safely and in a short time without damaging nerves.
