Clivus-cervical Stabilization through Transoral Approach in Patients with Craniocervical Tumors

Abstract

Diptimaya Richard*

Craniocervical tumors present a challenging scenario due to their intricate anatomical location and the potential risk of neurological compromise. Surgical management often requires precise stabilization of the craniocervical junction to prevent instability and neurological deterioration. The transoral approach has emerged as a valuable technique for accessing craniocervical lesions while minimizing surgical morbidity. This review explores the role of clivus-cervical stabilization through the transoral approach in patients with craniocervical tumors, highlighting surgical indications, technical considerations, outcomes and complications.
