About Spinal Intradural Tumor Resection

Spinal Intradural Tumor Resection is a highly specialized neurosurgical procedure performed to remove tumors located within the dura mater, the protective membrane surrounding the spinal cord and nerve roots. These tumors, which can be benign or malignant, are meticulously excised by a Surgical Oncologist to relieve pressure on the spinal cord, alleviate neurological symptoms like pain, weakness, or numbness, and prevent further neurological damage. The surgery often involves a laminectomy to access the spinal canal, followed by the use of advanced microsurgical techniques and intraoperative monitoring to maximize tumor removal while preserving critical neural structures. It is a definitive treatment aimed at improving quality of life and neurological function.
