- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Spinal Tumor Excision Journey
🩺Phase 1: Symptoms Identification
- Persistent back pain, often worse at night or unrelieved by rest
- Numbness, weakness, or tingling in arms or legs
- Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
- Loss of bladder or bowel control (if spinal cord compression occurs – medical emergency)
- Sometimes detected incidentally on imaging for unrelated issues
📝Phase 2: OPD Consultation with Spine/Neuro Specialist
- Detailed medical history including any known cancers (for metastases)
- Neurological exam to check reflexes, muscle strength, and sensory deficits
- Initial X-rays or CT scan to assess vertebral involvement
- Discuss need for biopsy and multidisciplinary planning (oncology, spine surgery)
🧪 Phase 3: Diagnosis & Planning
- MRI of the spine for detailed evaluation of tumor size, location, and relation to spinal cord/nerves
- Biopsy (if needed) to confirm tumor type: benign (e.g., meningioma) or malignant (e.g., metastasis)
- Staging investigations (PET/CT scan) for metastatic disease
- Surgical planning: En bloc resection, piecemeal removal, or debulking depending on tumor type and location
💊Phase 4: Treatment Plan
- Spinal Tumor Excision Surgery:Performed under general anesthesia
- Goal: Relieve spinal cord compression, stabilize spine, and remove tumor as safely as possible
- May involve spinal instrumentation (rods, screws) to maintain stability after tumor removal
- May be combined with radiation or chemotherapy post-surgery for malignant tumors
🏥 Phase 5: Post-Surgery Care
- ICU monitoring for neurological recovery in complex cases
- Wound care and pain management
- Gradual mobilization with support and physiotherapy
- Regular imaging (MRI/CT) to monitor for residual or recurrent tumor
- Adjuvant oncology treatments (if indicated)
💪 Phase 6: Recovery
- Hospital stay: 5–10 days depending on tumor complexity
- Return to light activities: 4–6 weeks
- Improved neurological function and pain relief in most patients
- Long-term follow-up for tumor surveillance and spinal stability assessment

Helping you understand Our healthcare
It’s a surgical procedure to remove tumors from the spine. The goal is to relieve spinal cord or nerve pressure, reduce pain, and stabilize the spine for better function.
Surgery is recommended when:
- The tumor causes severe back pain, numbness, or weakness
- There is spinal cord compression affecting movement or bladder/bowel control
- The tumor risks destabilizing the spine
- Rapidly growing benign or malignant tumors are detected
- Primary tumors – Originate in the spine (e.g., meningioma, schwannoma, chordoma)
- Metastatic tumors – Spread from other cancers (e.g., breast, lung, prostate)
Under general anesthesia, the surgeon accesses the spine from the back or side. The tumor is carefully removed, and implants (rods/screws) may be placed if spinal stability is compromised.
Modern surgical techniques and neuromonitoring make it much safer. Potential risks include bleeding, infection, and nerve injury – but these are minimized with expert care.
