BACKGROUND Fully endoscopic transoral approaches (FETOA) constitute a reasonable option for the treatment of middling compressive pathology that involve the craniocervical junction and higher cervical levels. METHODS We describe, step by step, the FETOA for the treatment of upper cervical lesions. More specifically, the ones that are located between C1 and C3. A giant anterior C1-C2 osteophyte resection will be used as an illustration of these approaches. CONCLUSIONS This technique represents a minimally invasive treatment option for these kinds of high cervical lesions. It offers optimal visualization, maximizing the resection of these lesions and decreasing the morbidity and mortality.

高颈椎骨赘的全内镜经口切除。我该怎么做？

背景技术完全内窥镜经口入路（FETOA）是治疗涉及颅颈交界处和较高宫颈水平的中度压迫性病理的合理选择。方法我们逐步描述了FETOA治疗上颈部病变的方法。更具体地说，位于C1和C3之间的那些。巨大的前C1-C2骨赘切除术将用作这些方法的例证。结论该技术代表了这类高宫颈病变的微创治疗选择。它提供了最佳的可视化效果，最大程度地切除了这些病变，并降低了发病率和死亡率。
