Gross Total Resection of the Entire Cervical Spine Tumor: A Technical Note on Surgical Planning and Design of a Novel 3D-Printed Vertebral Prosthesis for Reconstruction from Skull Base to Thoracic Vertebra
This case of a recurrent C1-T1 chordoma illustrates that GTR for extensive, multisegment cervical tumors is achievable through meticulous surgical planning. 3D-printed prostheses provide an effective approach for anterior cervical reconstruction after multi-segment resection. Multidisciplinary perioperative care remains essential for managing such complex multisegment resections.
