Abstract

The transoral-transpalatine approach to the ventral craniocervical junction is the most frequently used route for decompression of the ventral cervicomedullary area. 1 This article presents the complications encountered in 692 patients who underwent this operation between 1977 and 2005. Since 1990 there have been no infections or major morbidity.
