Inferior vena cava division with venous-venous bypass during en bloc lumbar spondylectomy for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor: illustrative case
Inferior vena cava division and reanastomosis is a novel technique that can be used to widen surgical corridors in anterior approaches to the lumbar spine, and one that proves useful in en bloc resections. Venous-venous bypass can minimize impact on right heart filling during prolonged surgery. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25151.
