Core Tip

Core Tip: This retrospective study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of the posterior approach for spinal meningiomas resection, and compare the outcomes among different dural attachment location subgroups. Thirty four patients with an average follow-up time of 22.65 months were included. The average operating time was 176.76 min, with intraoperative blood loss of 520.59 mL. Satisfactory outcomes were observed in 97.06% of cases and the tumor recurrence rate was 2.94%. There were no significant differences in operating time, intraoperative blood loss, neurological function, and recurrence rates among three distinct dural attachment location subgroups.
