Go for the Gold: A 'Plane' and Simple Technique for Resecting Benign Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors

摘要

BACKGROUND: Intraneural dissection is a useful technique for achieving gross total resection and preserving functional fascicles for peripheral nerve tumors. Finding the correct tissue plane is the critical step for safe successful enucleation. The authors hypothesized that the yellow color of benign nerve tumors can be used to identify surgical planes.
