Spinal Tumor Surgery

Spinal Tumor Surgery in Dubai at Emirates Hospitals Group. Spinal tumors, whether cancerous or benign, can cause significant pain, nerve issues, and mobility limitations. While surgery isn’t always required, it plays a crucial role in many cases.

Goals of Spine Tumor Surgery

The primary objective is to remove as much of the tumor as possible, aiming for complete or near-complete resection. Surgery can alleviate pain caused by the tumor pressing on nerves or spinal structure, improve function and help stabilize the spine.

Types of Spine Tumor Surgery

• Microsurgery: Utilizes a high-powered microscope and specialized instruments for minimally invasive and precise tumor removal, ideal for smaller tumors.
• Open Surgery: Requires a larger incision for direct visualization and removal of the tumor, often used for larger tumors or those in complex locations.
• Decompression Procedures: This surgery focuses on creating more space in the spinal canal to relieve pressure on nerves caused by the tumor.
• Spinal Fusion: This surgery involves permanently joining two or more vertebrae using bone grafts or implants to provide stability and prevent further spinal deformity caused by the tumor.

Choosing the Right Spinal Tumor Surgery

The type of surgery recommended by our spine surgeons will depend on several factors including:

• Size and location of the tumor
• Cancerous or benign
• Severity of symptoms: The extent of pain, nerve compression, and functional limitation.
• Your Overall health: Your general health and ability to tolerate surgery
