Abstract

Neurilemmoma of the tibial nerve at the distal leg is a deep-seated tumor, and diagnosis can be delayed for several years. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the technique of endoscopy-assisted resection of neurilemmoma of the tibial nerve at the distal leg. This minimally invasive approach can minimize soft-tissue dissection and may reduce the risk of postoperative perineural fibrosis.
