Key Aspects of Endoscopic Spine Surgery:
Endoscopic spinal surgery is a minimally invasive surgical approach that involves the use of micro-sized incisions and small tubular systems in combination with an endoscope to visualize the surgical field. While this approach is commonly used for various areas of the body, it has become the preferred choice for spinal procedures due to its minimally invasive nature.
Endoscopic removal of spinal tumors, for instance, typically takes around 45 minutes. The successful treatment of spinal tumors depends on several factors, including the stage of the cancer, the tumor’s location, and the type of tumor. Early detection of spinal tumors is a significant advantage over late detection, and it enables more effective treatment.
Treatment Considerations:
The size and location of the tumor play a crucial role in determining the treatment approach. Spinal tumors that cause severe complications such as weakness, numbness, or neurological issues may require a more extended recovery period. Compression of the spinal cord or nerves can also be addressed through endoscopic treatment, as radiation therapy can help shrink tumors within the spinal cord. Physical therapy, including exercises to strengthen the back, leg muscles, and abdomen, is often included as part of the rehabilitation process.
Diagnosis of Spinal Tumors:
To diagnose spinal tumors, various imaging techniques are used. A plain spinal X-ray is performed to produce an image of the vertebrae and joints, which helps identify potential causes of pain such as tumors, fractures, or infections.
Dr. Sandeep Vaishaya recommends a computed tomography (CT) scan, which provides detailed images of the affected body part. This imaging technique offers valuable information about the shape and size of the spinal canal, its contents, and nearby structures.
Treatments for Spinal Tumors:
The determination of whether a spinal tumor is operable or not depends on a neurosurgeon’s evaluation. Timely treatment is crucial for spinal tumors, as delaying treatment can lead to permanent damage to the spinal cord and related organs. Dr. Sandeep Vaishaya specializes in spinal cancer treatment and utilizes the latest methods and state-of-the-art equipment to provide the best possible care.
In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat spinal tumors. During the evaluation, factors such as the patient’s age and overall health are considered. Thanks to advanced technology, complex surgical procedures can now be performed with precision and a high level of care.
If you or a loved one is facing the challenges of a spinal tumor, it is essential to consult with a specialist like Dr. Sandeep Vaishaya, who can provide expert guidance and the most advanced treatment options available in Gurgaon.
