Spinal tumor surgery is a neurosurgical or spine surgical operation to remove, reduce, or biopsy an abnormal growth in or around the spinal column — including the vertebral bones, spinal cord, nerve roots, and their protective covering. It is recommended when a tumor is compressing the spinal cord or nerves, causing progressive neurological symptoms such as weakness, numbness, or loss of bladder and bowel control, or when the spine has become structurally unstable. The operation can range from endoscopic or minimally invasive removal of a single-level tumor to open microsurgical resection with spinal fusion and instrumentation for complex, multi-level, or bone-involving tumors. Continuous intraoperative nerve monitoring is used to protect the spinal cord and nerve roots throughout the procedure. Recovery depends on tumor type and complexity, with many patients beginning mobilisation within one to two days of surgery.
Tumor removed through a small incision using a tubular retractor and endoscope, minimising disruption to surrounding muscles with a shorter hospital stay.
