Özet

For successful DREZ (dorsal root entry zone) surgery, optimal neuroanatomical orientation and precise microsurgical dissection are required. Although cervical, lumbar, and sacral spinal segments have been studied in detail, such information is not available for thoracic segments. The objective of this anatomical study is to comprehensively illustrate the microanatomical features of the thoracic DREZs and their variations.
