Costotransversectomy

Costotransversectomy (CTE) is a surgical procedure performed to remove the transverse process of the spine. It can be performed as a stand-alone procedure or in combination with other spinal surgeries.

With CTE, the surgeon removes the transverse process of the spine, which is located between two adjacent vertebrae. This growth can cause pain and discomfort, as well as problems with movement and posture. The operation is performed through a small incision in the patient's back or side.

After CTE, the patient may experience some pain and discomfort for several days. However, as a rule, recovery occurs quickly and without serious complications.

CTE may be useful for patients with back pain that does not respond to other treatments. It can also be used to remove tumors or other formations on the transverse process of the spine.
