Surgical Excellence

Minimally Invasive Spine Tumor Care in Kohima

Spinal tumors, whether primary or metastatic, require a delicate balance between aggressive resection and the preservation of neurological function. For patients in Kohima, the traditional "open" approach for spine tumors often involved large incisions and significant muscle disruption. Dr. Arun Saroha utilizes state-of-the-art endoscopic techniques to access the spinal canal through corridors as small as 10mm, providing a direct view of the tumor with unmatched clarity.

By employing high-definition endoscopes and specialized micro-instruments, we can meticulously separate tumor tissue from the delicate spinal cord and nerve roots. For residents of Kohima, this means a shorter hospital stay, less post-operative pain, and a much faster transition to adjuvant therapies like radiation or chemotherapy, should they be required. Our objective is 100% tumor removal with 100% nerve preservation.

Warning Signs & Symptoms

  • Persistent, non-mechanical back pain that is worse when lying down.
  • Progressive weakness in legs or arms for Kohima patients.
  • Loss of sensation or "numbness" in a specific nerve distribution.
  • Difficulties with balance or coordination while walking.
  • Unexplained weight loss or history of primary cancer elsewhere.
  • Sudden changes in bowel or bladder function (Critical Symptom).

Tumor Types Treated Endoscopically

We provide specialized care for various spinal lesions for Kohima residents:

  • Schwannomas & Neurofibromas: Benign tumors originating from nerve sheaths.
  • Meningiomas: Tumors arising from the protective lining (dura) of the spinal cord.
  • Ependymomas: Tumors occurring inside the spinal cord (intramedullary).
  • Metastatic Lesions: Cancers that have spread to the spine from other organs.

Precision Oncology Tech in Kohima

Successful spine tumor surgery relies on the integration of multiple advanced technologies. For our patients in Kohima, we utilize:

Endoscopic UHD

4K visualization provide 10x magnification of nerve-tumor interfaces.

Neuromonitoring

Real-time electrical tracking of spinal cord health during every millimetre of tumor removal.

Ultrasonic Aspirator

Breaking down tumor tissue with sonic waves while sparing blood vessels and nerves for Kohima patients.

Clinical Outcomes & Recovery

The primary benefit of endoscopic tumor resection for families in Kohima is the preservation of spinal stability. Traditional tumor surgery often required extensive bone removal (laminectomy) which could lead to later spinal collapse or the need for fusion. Our endoscopic approach preserves the major weight-bearing structures of your spine, meaning no rods or screws are typically necessary.

Recovery is streamlined; most patients in Kohima are out of bed on the same day and can be discharged within 48–72 hours. Because the incision is tiny, the risk of infection is significantly lower, and the wound heals quickly. Dr. Saroha's multidisciplinary approach ensures that your surgical recovery is perfectly coordinated with any further oncological care needed in Kohima or beyond.

Patient Education

Frequently Asked Questions about Spine Tumors in Kohima

Are all spinal tumors cancerous?

No. Many spinal tumors (like Schwannomas and Meningiomas) are benign (non-cancerous) but can still cause serious neurological issues by compressing the spinal cord in Kohima patients.

Will I need radiation after surgery?

This depends on the pathology of the tumor. For many benign tumors in Kohima, surgical removal is curative. For metastatic tumors, radiation is often used following decompression.

Can an endoscope really remove a whole tumor?

Yes. With modern UHD endoscopes, we can often visualize the tumor more clearly than with traditional "open" surgery, allowing for complete and safe resection for patients in Kohima.

What is the "night pain" for spine tumors?

Pain that increases when lying down or during the night is a hallmark sign of a spine tumor for Kohima residents, and should always be investigated by an expert neurosurgeon.

Is there a risk of paralysis during surgery?

While every spine surgery carries risks, the use of continuous Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) in Kohima minimizes this risk by allowing us to track nerve health in real-time.

How long is the recovery?

With endoscopic resection, most patients in Kohima are walking the same day and can return to light work in 2-3 weeks, compared to 2-3 months for traditional open surgery.

Can you treat tumors that have recurred?

Yes. Revision spine tumor surgery is a highly specialized service that Dr. Saroha provide for patients from Kohima who have had previous surgeries elsewhere.

Do I need to travel far for the biopsy?

No. We perform precision biopsies on-site in an outpatient setting, providing your results quickly so we can begin the right treatment plan in Kohima immediately.
