Abstract

Transthoracal approach to the thoracic spine is presented. It has been used in 19 patients with trauma or tumor within thoracic spine. This approach allowed for direct access to the vertebral body where the pathology was located. Transthoracal approach, however, should be performed by a surgeon with sufficient knowledge of thoracic surgery.
