Surgery for spinal tumours
A spinal tumour is an abnormal mass of tissue within or surrounding the spinal cord and/or spinal column. These cells grow and multiply uncontrollably, seemingly unchecked by the mechanisms that control normal cells. Spinal tumours can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Primary tumours originate in the spine or spinal cord, and metastatic or secondary tumours result from cancer spreading from another site to the spine.

Solutions in spinal tumour surgeries
Intramedullary tumours (like astrocytomas, ependymomas, and hemangioblastomas) arise within the substance of the spinal cord itself. The usual treatment for these tumours is surgical excision. The goal of surgery is to completely remove the tumour while preserving maximum neurological function. Some of the procedures our neurosurgeons employ are
Posterolateral resection - our neurosurgeons use this procedure to remove spine tumours and reinforce your spine through an incision in the middle of your back; En bloc resection where a surgical technique is used to remove the tumour in a single piece; Metastatic Spine Tumor Surgery where surgical resection and/or stereotactic radiosurgery may have a chance for cure.
