Spinal cord tumor pathology
Surgery for spinal cord tumor pathology (meaning spinal cord tumors) is a delicate procedure aimed at removing the tumor and reconstructing the spine if necessary. The surgery can be minimally invasive, such as a microdiscectomy or laminectomy, or more extensive, depending on the location and type of tumor.
Surgery for spinal cord tumor pathology is a delicate intervention that requires the involvement of a specialized surgeon, as well as careful planning by the medical team. At Instituto Arráez, we meet both premises to approach this procedure with the highest possible guarantees.

Types of surgery: Surgery for spinal cord tumor pathology may include:
Tumor removal
The primary goal is to completely remove the tumor, although in some cases, this might not be possible.
Laminectomy
The lamina (the part of the bone that protects the spinal cord) is removed to gain access to the tumor.
Arthrodesis
In some cases, a spinal fusion is performed to stabilize the spine after surgery.
Minimally invasive techniques
Techniques such as microdiscectomy, endoscopic laminectomy, etc., are used to minimize the invasiveness of the surgery.
