Removal of a spinal cord tumor is a surgical operation designed to localize and remove the affected cells and parts of the spinal cord.

The main task of the operation is to free the spinal cord (decompression) and stabilize the spine.

Regardless of the type of tumor (benign or malignant), surgery is the treatment of choice. If it was a benign tumor, the patient recovers after the operation. In the case of a malignant tumor, surgery is the first step before radiation or chemotherapy.

The operation to remove a tumor of the spinal cord is complex and requires high professionalism of the surgeon. We offer you a list of specialized clinics and centers for spinal cord tumor surgery with prices and patient reviews on our website bookimed.com
