Outpatient Spinal Tumor Surgery

Spinal tumors can be benign or cancerous lesions and may require surgical intervention to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Outpatient spinal tumor surgery offers a convenient and efficient treatment option for eligible patients. Minimally invasive tumor resection doesn’t require a lengthy hospital stay, and enable patient’s to return to their normal life quicker, with less pain and a shorter recovery.

Conditions

Recommended for these Conditions

Laminectomy

Removes part of the vertebra, known as the lamina, which acts as the roof of the spinal cord. This helps decompress the nerves.

Explore Treatment

Discectomy

Removes abnormal disc material that may be pressing on the spinal cord or nerve roots.

Explore Treatment

Tumors of the Spine

Spinal tumors are abnormal growths that develop within either the bones of the spine or within the spinal cord itself, often leading to pain, neurological symptoms, and/or spinal instability. Intradural tumors occur within the thecal sac (membrane that surrounds nerves and the spinal cord) and are usually benign (schwannoma, meningioma, and ependymoma) while extradural tumors typically start in the bone of the spine (vertebra) and usually represent a metastasis.

Additional Conditions

Intradural Tumor

Intradural tumor resection involves the surgical removal of tumors located within the dura mater but outside the spinal cord. This delicate procedure aims to alleviate symptoms caused by the tumor, such as pain and neurological deficits, while preserving normal function.

Extradural Tumor

Extradural tumor resection is the surgical removal of tumors located outside the dura mater, typically affecting the vertebrae or epidural space. The goal is to relieve compression of the spinal cord or nerves, reduce pain, and maintain or restore spinal stability.

Causes

What Are the Causes?

Age-Related Degeneration

As we age, the intervertebral discs in our spine can begin to break down and lose their elasticity. This can lead to a disc herniation.

Trauma

A sudden injury or impact to the spine, such as from a car accident or a fall, can cause a disc herniation.

Overuse Injuries

Repeated strain on the spine, such as from heavy lifting or repetitive motions, can cause a disc herniation over time.

Poor Posture

Poor posture, such as slouching or hunching over a desk or computer, can put excess strain on the spine and lead to a disc herniation.

Obesity

Carrying excess weight can put additional pressure on the spine and increase the risk of a disc herniation.

This procedure requires careful microsurgical technique to maximize tumor removal while minimizing damage to the spinal cord and nerves, aiming to alleviate neurological symptoms.

Decompression / Laminectomy

Decompression surgery, including laminectomy, involves removing part of the vertebral bone called the lamina to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This procedure is often used to treat spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or tumors.
