Abstract

Benign spinal tumors have been treated for a long time by surgical open procedures with the solemn message of removing the lesion as much as you can without bringing damage to the neural structures. In the last years we’ve got a lot papers released pointed the tubular M.I.S as a safe way to extract benign spinal tumors .We would like to present a large extradural Angiolipoma be-tween L1/L2 removed by a full endoscopic inter laminar approach under general anesthesia . The major benefit of choosing this surgical option is to decrease the tissue injury related to the approach and perform an efficient removal of the lesion. The preservation of muscle ligaments and bone structures, bring less back pain, low pos operative drugs assistance, fast recovery and as principal consequence no future symptoms associated with spinal instability [1-8].
