To reduce collateral injury and preserve cervical stability, the anterior transcorporeal approach under navigated guidance is an alternative minimally invasive technique.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBJECTIVE:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To describe a minimally invasive transcorporeal approach for cervical intradural extramedullary tumor resection and spinal cord decompression.

The anterior transcorporeal approach for total tumor resection and spinal cord decompression under a microscope was planned. Under spinal navigation, small bone tunneling was performed to expose and remove the tumor without compromising cervical stability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The melanoma resection was successfully performed without complications.
