Spine tumors can occur inside the spinal cord (intramedullary), around the spinal cord (intradural-extramedullary), or outside the spinal cord (extradural). Each type needs a different approach, and Dr. Singh plans the surgery based on detailed scans like MRI and CT. He may recommend a biopsy to know the exact type of tumor before planning surgery.
Surgical treatment aims to remove as much of the tumor as possible without harming the nerves. If the tumor cannot be fully removed, partial removal followed by other treatments like radiation or chemotherapy may be advised. Dr. Singh may also use minimally invasive spine surgery when suitable, helping patients recover faster with less pain.
