Conventional TES carries the risk of damage to the great vessels anterior to the vertebral column, mainly because of a lack of visualization of the anterior structures. In this study, we devised a modified standard TES technique to achieve direct visualization in a 1-stage posterior approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Included in this study were patients \u226518 years old with solitary thoracic or lumbar SM who underwent the modified standard TES at our institution between January 2017 and October 2022.

Lung cancer was the most common tumor histology. Fourteen patients (19.7%) experienced intraoperative complications; pleural rupture was the predominant complication, and there were no cases of injury to the spinal cord or great vessels. The median operative time was 305 minutes (range, 203 to 660 minutes). The median intraoperative blood loss was 1,000 mL (range, 400 to 4,000 mL). The median perioperative blood transfusion was 4 units (range, 0 to 12 units), and the median hospitalization duration was 17 days (range, 14 to 29 days). Additionally, 27 patients (38.0%) had acute (perioperative) complications. Seven patients were lost to follow-up. Significant clinical improvement was achieved 3 months postoperatively. Postoperative early and late complications were observed in 5 patients. Of the 64 patients with completed follow-up, 47 (73.4%) had negative surgical margins, and none received postoperative radiation therapy. Revision surgery for local tumor recurrence was performed in 4.7% of patients. The median follow-up was 31.5 months (range, 3 to 81 months).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our modified standard TES was demonstrated to be a safe and effective surgical technique for solitary thoracolumbar SM.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Therapeutic\n                      <jats:underline>Level IV<\/jats:underline>\n                      .
