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.

PATIENT REVIEW

Aarav Joshi, a 42-year-old software architect...

Aarav Joshi, a 42-year-old software architect and father of two, had always been active. Over the past year, he experienced a slow, creeping weakness in his left leg and a persistent, burning pain in his lower back that radiated down his thigh. Initially attributing it to long hours at his desk, he grew alarmed when he began stumbling and dropping his coffee mug. An MRI revealed a 2.5 cm intradural, extramedullary tumor (a meningioma) compressing his spinal cord at the T10 level. Surgical Oncologist Dr. Sharma explained that while benign, the tumor's location was critical and needed resection to prevent permanent paralysis. Terrified of losing his mobility and ability to play with his children, Aarav underwent the delicate microsurgery. The surgery was successful with gross total resection. Post-op, he faced a challenging three-month recovery with intensive physical therapy to rebuild strength and coordination in his leg. The emotional journey was a rollercoaster, from the fear of becoming a burden to his family to the profound relief and gratitude with each small step of regained function. Today, he walks with a slight limp but is back to coaching his son's soccer team, his perspective on life permanently deepened.
