Surgery to remove a chondrosarcoma from the C2 vertebra. The endoscope was advanced along the narrow passage from the mouth to the pharynx. A vertical midline linear incision along the posterior part of the pharynx with monopolar electrocautery was followed by an incision in and a lateral retraction of the longus colli muscles. The tumor was pearl-colored and solid and was removed via en-bloc resection using endoscopic curettes, punches, and a high-speed drill. Following the resection, the muscle and mucosa were sutured with 3.0 vicryl.
