spinal cord tumor surgery

Introduction

Spinal cord tumors are benign, abnormal proliferative lesions, which may arise within or in the adjacent region of the spinal cord, threatening the nervous system and resulting in considerable damage. Operations are, as a rule, carried out to excise such masses to avoid further damage. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about spinal cord tumor surgery, including the types, procedures, risks, costs, and the best hospitals in India for treatment.

What is Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery?

Surgeons perform surgical resection or ablation of spinal cord tumors for pain relief to estimate metastases or tumor growth that can be measured preoperatively. Tumors in the spinal cord can originate from the spinal cord itself (primary tumors) or spread from other parts of the body (secondary tumors or metastases). The goal of surgery is to alleviate symptoms such as pain, weakness, and numbness, and to prevent the tumor from further compressing the spinal cord.

Why is Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery Needed?

Spinal cord tumors are often surgically addressed due to the following:

Tumors can cause compressing on the spinal cord or nerve roots and produce pain, weakness and/or loss of function.

  • Prevent paralysis: Tumors of the spinal cord can lesion structures involved in motor control and lead to paralysis, which is not relieve unless surgeons remove the tumors.
  • Prevent tumor growth: Surgeons are excising the tumor to blunt extension and impact other organs/body parts.
  • Improve quality of life: By resection of the tumor, surgery can contribute to symptomatic relief and an increased quality of life as well as to the functional limitations of patients.

Types of Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery

Multiple approaches exist for spinal cord tumor surgery for tumor location, size and nature:

  • Laminectomy: Operative resection to expose the spinal cord and to resect a segment of the vertebrae. This helps relieve pressure.
  • Spinal Fusion: In a very occasional postoperative spinal fusion, surgeons can perform vertebral fixation to immobilize the spine after tumor resection.
  • Microsurgical Tumor Removal: These steps use the microscope, which ensures that surgeons resect the tumor in a technically accurate way with minimal possible interference on the surrounding tissues.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery:In this approach, surgeons remove the tumor through minimally invasive partial incision and high-tech sparing of as much muscle and other tissues as possible.

Procedure Steps

The steps of spinal cord tumor surgery typically include:

  1. Pre-operative assessment: This includes imaging techniques, including MRI and CT studies, to estimate the tumor size and location.
  2. Anesthesia: To render the patient unconscious and pain-free, the anesthesiologist puts the patient under general anesthesia.
  3. Incision:A surgeon drills a hole into the back, neck, or abdomen (depending on which area the tumor is located).
  4. Tumor removal: The surgeon precisely resects the tumor using surgical instruments or a microscope.
  5. Post-operative care: Post-surgery, the patient is kept in the hospital under observation for another occurrence of complications. Physical therapy may be required for recovery.

Benefits of Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery

  • Relieves neurological symptoms: It is common for patients to report considerable symptom relief, including pain, numbness, and weakness.
  • Prevents further damage: Surgical resection alleviates permanent spinal cord injury and, as a result, paralysis.
  • Improves mobility and quality of life: Removing the tumor can restore some degree of function and independence for the patient.
  • High success rate: For benign tumors, surgery can combine with good verification to a great extent with patients, without significant recovery.

Risks and Complications

Surgery for spinal cord tumors is highly effective but carries risks, including:.

  • Infection: All surgery is associated with the risk of infection, and that is particularly true when the spinal cord is at play.
  • Bleeding: In some cases, bleeding can occur during surgery.
  • Nerve damage: Adjacent nerve injury is one risk associated with weakness, paralysis or sensory deficits.
  • Cerebrospinal fluid leak: Postoperative leakage of cerebrospinal fluid can under special circumstances still be a requirement for further treatment.

Cost of treatment in India vs. the USA.

The expenses of Children’s heart surgery may vary considerably on a country level:

  • In India: The average cost of spinal cord tumor surgery ranges from ₹2,00,000 to ₹5,00,000 $2,500 to $6,500), depending on the complexity of the surgery and the hospital chosen.
  • In the USA: The cost of the surgery of a spinal cord tumor can be from $40,000 to $100,000 and includes expenditures of the post-operative, rehabilitation and drugs.

India offers low-cost healthcare treatment to patients. Patients can receive high-quality medical care at a fraction of the cost. This is a tiny percentage of what similar treatment costs in the USA.

Best Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery Hospitals in India.

India has several leading hospitals with state-of-the-art programs in Children’s heart surgery. Some of the top hospitals include:

  1. All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi
  2. Medanta – The Medicity, Gurugram
  3. Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon
  4. Apollo Hospitals, Chennai
