Multidisciplinary Surgical Approach Using Augmented Reality Preplanning for Resection of Giant Thoracic Schwannoma With Robotic-Assisted Thoracoscopic Mobilization

In adults, primary spinal cord tumors account for 5% of all primary tumors of the central nervous system, with schwannomas making up about 74% of all nerve sheath tumors. Thoracic schwannomas can pose a threat to neurovasculature, presenting a significant challenge to safe and complete surgical resection. For patients presenting with complex pathologies including tumors, a dual surgeon approach may be used to optimize patient care and improve outcomes.
