Spinal Tumor Surgery
Spinal tumors are serious and can potentially be life threatening. Even benign tumors can cause problems with the normal function of the spine. Surgery is typically required to remove the tumor. Surgery can be from the front, back or side depending upon the location of the spinal tumor.
Special care needs to be taken to address issues like blood loss. Special instrumentation will likely be need to address fixation of the spine.
