STUDY DESIGN: A technical note. OBJECTIVES: To describe and discuss a novel technique for surgical resection of @entity1653 . SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: With conventional methods for surgical resection of isolated intradural @entity1653 , there are two ways of dealing with the dural attachment of the @entity5 . One is complete resection of the involved dura together with the @entity5 , and the other is coagulation only of the @entity5 base of the dura. In the case of the novel technique herein described, the dura mater is preserved in a new manner. METHODS: In the surgical procedure a small incision is made in the surface of the dura mater after the conventional laminectomy. The spinal dura can be easily divided into two layers, comprising inner and outer layers. The outer layer is stripped away from the inner layer surrounding the @entity5 base. The @entity5 is then resected together with the inner layer alone outside the arachnoid membrane, and finally the outer layer is simply closed. RESULTS: This method has been applied to three cases. The preserved outer layer of the dura mater did not demonstrate the existence of @entity5 cells histologically. Neither complications nor @entity5 recurrence have been experienced. CONCLUSION: The authors introduced a novel technique for surgical resection of isolated intradural @entity1653 . Using this simple procedure the outer part of the dura mater, which is not involved by the @entity5 , can be preserved and complicated dural reconstruction is not necessary. Furthermore, there is less risk of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid fistulas than when the dura is completely resected together with the @entity5 . However, long-term observation as a result of the possibility of local recurrence is strongly recommended.
