Unilateral microsurgical approaches to extramedullary spinal tumours. Operative technique and results.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Peripheral nerve lesions usually are associated with neuropathic pain. In the present paper, we describe a simple scale to quantify pain after brachial plexus injuries and apply this scale to a series of patients to determine initial outcomes after reconstructive surgery. METHODS:Fifty-one patients with tra...
