Spine Tumor Management in Kochi

Spine Tumor Surgery in Kochi:

Spinal tumors may develop inside the spinal canal or within vertebrae. They can compress the spinal cord or nerves, causing pain, weakness, and even paralysis. Both benign and metastatic tumors are treated at our Kochi facility using advanced diagnostic and surgical methods.

Symptoms and Early Warning Signs:

Persistent back pain, radiating leg pain, weakness, numbness, or difficulty walking may be early signs of spinal tumor involvement. Timely consultation with a spine specialist in Kochi can prevent permanent nerve injury.

Diagnostic Imaging:

We rely on MRI, PET-CT, and CT scans for detailed visualization of the tumor’s location, size, and impact. These imaging tools guide surgical planning and ensure that only the affected area is treated.

Treatment Modalities:

Our philosophy is to preserve neurological function while achieving tumor removal. Some small tumors can be managed with observation or stereotactic radiosurgery. When surgery is necessary, keyhole spine surgery with O-arm navigation ensures precision and safety.

Rehabilitation & Follow-Up:

After tumor removal, we prioritize early mobilization, spinal stability, and physiotherapy. Regular follow-ups include imaging and neurological assessments to monitor for recurrence or complications.
