Spinal Tumor Surgery

A spinal tumor is one of two basic types. Primary tumors originate in the spine or spinal cord. Secondary tumors are metastatic tumors that spread from another area to the spine. Ideally, spinal tumor surgery can completely remove the tumor with advanced surgical techniques and a maximum safety margin.

What are my surgical treatment options?

Not all spinal tumors require surgery. Some small tumors do not grow and are not creating pressure on the spine or neighboring tissue and only need to be carefully watched over time. Only a full evaluation of the condition will reveal the treatment options appropriate for you.

Surgical treatment for spinal tumors

Surgery is most often prescribed for tumors that can be removed with little risk. Advanced techniques and highly evolved instrumentation including real-time microscopes give your doctor an unsurpassed ability to see into the area and distinguish tumor tissue from healthy tissue. Whenever possible, a minimally invasive spine surgery will be performed. If the vertebrae are weakened or fractured, then surgery might include a stabilization or fusion procedure.

Our spine surgeon can monitor the ongoing function of the spinal cord and major nerves during your operation to ensure only the tumor is acted upon. There are many state-of-the-art tools at his disposal to ensure a successful outcome. For example, high-frequency sound waves may be applied to the tumor to break it up and remove it.


Radiosurgery or chemotherapy can be used for treatment for some tumors and with a collaborative approach with your oncologists, we will recommend this treatment if appropriate.
