High-Precision Spinal Microsurgery
Spinal tumors and vascular malformations of the spinal cord represent some of the most complex neurosurgical pathologies. Their proximity to critical structures requires advanced techniques and a highly trained team to preserve neurological function.
We treat extradural, intradural extramedullary, and intramedullary tumors, as well as spinal vascular malformations. We combine high-precision microsurgery with neurophysiological monitoring, endovascular techniques, and, when indicated, stereotactic radiosurgery, offering the highest level of safety in every intervention.
Spinal Pathology & Tumors
Spinal column tumors (extradural)
Lesions affecting the vertebrae that may compromise stability or the nervous system. Treated with surgery, stabilization, and/or radiosurgery.
Intradural extramedullary tumors
Tumors within the spinal canal but outside the spinal cord. Resected through high-precision microsurgery, preserving neurological function.
Intramedullary tumors
Lesions within the spinal cord that require advanced microsurgery with neurophysiological monitoring for maximum safety.
Spinal vascular malformations
Alterations in the blood vessels of the spinal cord that may cause progressive neurological deficits. Treated with microsurgery or endovascular techniques.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of spinal tumors can be treated?
We treat extradural tumors (affecting the vertebrae), intradural extramedullary tumors (within the spinal canal but outside the spinal cord), and intramedullary tumors (within the spinal cord), each with specific microsurgical techniques.
How is neurological function preserved during spinal surgery?
We use intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during advanced microsurgery, which allows critical nerve structures to be identified and protected in real time, ensuring maximum functional safety for the patient.
How are spinal vascular malformations treated?
Spinal vascular malformations are alterations in the blood vessels of the spinal cord that may cause progressive neurological deficits. They are treated with microsurgery or endovascular techniques depending on the location and characteristics of the lesion.
