Abstract: | The LECA is a technically challenging procedure with a steep learning curve. It is one of the most versatile approaches to the spine, however,with a logical sequence of maneuvers that can be combined to adapt the LECA for many different spinal procedures that need to be performed for decompression of the spinal cord and reconstruction of the spinal column in cancer patients. |
