Minimally Invasive Spine Tumor Removal:-

Tumor is abnormal mass of rapidly growing cells without any physiological function. That means it does not perform any function for the body but derives its nutrition from the body. It can occur anywhere in the body. The cause is unknown. Those tumors that are found in and around the spinal cord are known as spine tumors.

The Spinal tumors are of three types depending on their location:_

·        Intramedullary - within the substance of the spinal cord.

·         Intradural-Extramedullary- within the layers (meninges) covering the spinal cord.

·         Extradural- between the meninges and the vertebral body. Most of the spinal tumors are extradural.

Tumors are also classified as benign and malignant. Tumors that are confined to a particular area in the body are known as benign tumors. Those tumors that spread rapidly to various parts of the body are known as malignant tumor. A tumor can initially start as a benign one and can convert to a malignant one in a few cases.+
