Spinal Tumor Surgery

Spinal tumor surgery is a highly specialized procedure aimed at removing abnormal growths that develop within or around the spinal cord and vertebrae. These tumors may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and they can affect mobility, cause pain, and put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. The primary goals of surgery are to relieve compression, preserve nerve function, stabilize the spine, and restore quality of life with minimal risk and faster recovery.

Types of Spinal Tumors

Spinal tumors vary based on their location within or around the spinal cord. Understanding the type helps determine the right treatment approach.

Intramedullary Tumor Surgery

Performed for tumors located inside the spinal cord, such as astrocytomas and ependymomas. Surgery focuses on precise tumor removal while minimizing damage to surrounding nerve tissue.

Extramedullary Intradural Tumor Surgery

Targeted at tumors located outside the spinal cord but within the dura, including meningiomas and schwannomas. Surgeons carefully decompress the spinal cord and nerves while removing the tumor.

Extradural Tumor Surgery

Designed for tumors outside the dura, often involving vertebrae, and frequently metastatic. The surgery may include vertebral reconstruction or spinal fusion to stabilize the spine and relieve pressure on nerves.
