Precision Tumor Removal with Minimal Tissue Trauma
Utilizing high-definition endoscopic corridors to achieve complete tumor resection. Dr. Arun Saroha brings world-class oncological neurosurgery to patients 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.
We provide specialized care for various spinal lesions for Kohima residents:
Successful spine tumor surgery relies on the integration of multiple advanced technologies. For our patients in Kohima, we utilize:
4K visualization provide 10x magnification of nerve-tumor interfaces.
Real-time electrical tracking of spinal cord health during every millimetre of tumor removal.
Breaking down tumor tissue with sonic waves while sparing blood vessels and nerves for Kohima patients.
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.
Minimally invasive neurosurgical solutions for complex spinal pathologies.
The total removal of non-invasive spine tumors through a single, 1cm port using UHD visualization for patients in Kohima.
Precision tissue sampling of suspicious spinal masses in Kohima with near-zero downtime, guiding definitive treatment plans.
Relieving immediate spinal cord pressure from palliative metastatic tumors for residents in Kohima, restoring mobility and comfort.
High-complexity removal of tumors hiding inside the spinal cord itself, performed with micro-surgical precision for Kohima patients.
Continuous monitoring of neuro-signals ensure that every millimeter of tumor removal is 100% safe for our Kohima surgical patients.
Seamless coordination with radiation and medical oncology teams to ensure a comprehensive cure plan for residents in Kohima.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Revision spine tumor surgery is a highly specialized service that Dr. Saroha provide for patients from Kohima who have had previous surgeries elsewhere.
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.
