Spinal cord tumors
Thankfully, spinal cord tumors are generally rare. There can be both malignant and benign spinal cord tumors. Neurosurgeons specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors in the brain and spinal cord. The symptoms of a spinal cord tumor generally depend on its size, rate of growth, and location. |

Laminectomies and spinal fusions
Spinal operations are performed to decompress neural structures to relieve pain and provide the opportunity for neurological recovery. At times, fusions are performed to stabilize spinal segments and improve neurologic function. These procedures can be peformed microscopically, endoscopically, or through standard, open approaches. |
