What is Spinal Tumor?
A spinal tumor is an abnormal growth that forms inside or around the spinal cord or spine, which can cause pain, weakness, or difficulty walking. When these tumors affect nerves or movement, spinal tumor surgery may be needed to remove or reduce them. This procedure helps relieve pressure on the spine and improves mobility and overall function.
SPINAL TUMORS EXCISION
Types of Surgical Approaches
1. Posterior Approach :
Accessing the tumor from the back of the spine.
2. Anterior Approach :
Accessing through the front of the body, often used for tumors in front of the spinal cord.
3. Lateral Approach :
A side approach, used for certain tumor locations.
Advanced imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans guide the surgeon during the procedure, enabling precise tumor removal while minimizing risk to the spinal cord and surrounding nerves. In some cases, the surgery may also involve spinal stabilization using rods, screws, or bone grafts to maintain proper alignment and function after tumor removal.
Benefits of Spinal Tumor Excision
Relief from severe or chronic back and neck pain.
Prevention or improvement of neurological symptoms (weakness, numbness, paralysis).
Restoration of spinal stability and posture.
Improved quality of life and mobility.
FAQs
Patients with spinal tumors causing severe pain, neurological deficits, spinal instability, or risk of progression may require surgery.
Recovery time varies, but most patients need several weeks of rest followed by rehabilitation therapy to regain full function.
Postoperative pain is managed with medications, nerve blocks, and physical therapy. Most patients report gradual improvement in pain as healing progresses.
In cases where the tumor weakens the spine, stabilization with implants or grafts may be necessary to maintain spinal strength and alignment.
