ABSTRACT
SUMMARY

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome and surgical complications in patients with spinal schwannoma or neurofibroma surgically treated at the Hospital das Clínicas of the State University of Campinas.

METHODS:

This was a retrospective cohort study, using medical records of patients operated between 2011 and 2021. The sample distribution was verified using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The dynamics between qualitative variables were assessed using Fisher's exact test. We used means analysis to assess patient improvement based on Frankel scores.

RESULTS:

A total of 16 patients were evaluated, of whom 56.25% (9) were men and 43.75% (7) were women. There were 13 (81.25%) patients with schwannomas and 3 (18.75%) with neurofibromas. Patients with deficits had neurological improvement, such as walking or with at least Frankel D or E after surgery. Laminectomy, performed in 8 patients (50%), and laminoplasty, used in 9 patients (56.25%), were the main techniques.

CONCLUSION:

The surgical approach was proved to be an effective and safe alternative to the treatment of these tumors, with neurological improvement and minor surgical complications.
