Spinal cord tumour pathology
Surgery for spinal cord tumours (i.e., tumours of the spinal cord) is a delicate procedure that aims to remove the tumour and reconstruct the spine if necessary. Surgery can be minimally invasive, such as microdiscectomy or laminectomy, or more extensive, depending on the location and type of tumour.
Surgery for spinal cord tumour pathology is a delicate intervention that requires the involvement of a specialised surgeon, as well as careful planning by the medical team. At the Arráez Institute, we fulfil these two premises to approach this intervention with the greatest possible guarantees.

Types of surgery: Surgery for spinal cord tumour pathology may include:
Tumour removal
The main aim is to remove the entire tumour, but in some cases, this might not be possible.
Laminectomy
The lamina (the part of the bone that protects the spinal cord) is removed to access the tumour.
Arthrodesis
In some cases, spinal fusion is performed to stabilise the spine after surgery.
Minimally invasive techniques
Techniques such as microdiscectomy, endoscopic laminectomy, etc., are used to minimise the invasiveness of surgery.
