BRAIN & SPINAL CORD TUMOR SURGERY
BRAIN & SPINAL CORD TUMOR SURGERY
Overview
Surgery for brain and spinal cord tumors is a complex and delicate procedure aimed at removing or reducing the tumor while preserving neurological function.
Brain Tumor Surgery:
1. Preoperative Evaluation:
- Detailed imaging (MRI, CT scans) to locate and characterize the tumor.
- Neurological assessments to evaluate baseline function.
2. Surgical Approaches:
- Craniotomy: Involves removing a portion of the skull to access the brain. The surgeon carefully navigates through the brain tissue to reach and excise the tumor.
- Stereotactic Biopsy: In cases where complete removal is not feasible, a small sample is taken for diagnosis.
3. Intraoperative Monitoring:
- Neurophysiological monitoring may be used to assess and protect critical brain functions during surgery.
4. Postoperative Care:
- Close monitoring for complications, such as swelling or bleeding.
- Rehabilitation may be necessary for some patients.
5. Adjuvant Therapies:
- Surgery is often followed by radiation therapy or chemotherapy to target any remaining cancer cells.
Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery:
1. Preoperative Evaluation:
- Imaging studies (MRI, CT scans) to locate and characterize the spinal cord tumor. Neurological assessments to evaluate baseline function.
- Neurological assessments to determine baseline function.
2. Surgical Approaches:
- Laminectomy: Removal of a portion of the vertebral bone to access the tumor
- Microsurgery: Using a microscope for precision, especially in delicate areas near the spinal cord.
3. Intraoperative Monitoring:
- Neurophysiological monitoring may be used to assess and protect critical brain functions during surgery.
4. Postoperative Care:
- Continuous monitoring of spinal cord function to prevent damage during surgery
5. Adjuvant Therapies:
- Monitoring for complications, including infection and changes in neurological function.
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation to regain function.
