In this video from Open Operating Theatre, Prof. Peter Pal Varga MD, of National Center for Spinal Disorders,

Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary, discusses a 42-year-old man who had mild, obscure back pain for about 5 years and various other problems. Following a biopsy of the patient’s extended tumor mass, the patient was diagnosed with a chordoma.

Varga shows how he planned the en bloc sacrectomy, soft tissue and bony reconstruction, and the lumbopelvic stabilization for tumor excision.

This video is a teaching tool to help surgeons prepare for surgery or they can use it as refresher on the surgical technique and indications for this surgery.
