SPINAL TUMOUR SURGERY

Combining a cutting-edge standard of care with the latest surgical equipment, Dr Yang is skilled in complex spinal tumour surgery.

A spinal tumour is an abnormal mass of tissue within or surrounding the spinal cord and/or spinal column. These cells grow and multiply uncontrollably, seemingly unchecked by the mechanisms that control normal cells. Spinal tumours can be benign or malignant. Primary tumours originate in the spine or spinal cord, and metastatic or secondary tumours result from cancer spreading from another site to the spine.

Spinal tumours may be referred to by the region of the spine in which they occur. These basic areas are cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacrum. Additionally, they also are classified by their location in the spine into three major groups: intradural-extramedullary, intramedullary and extradural.

PUT YOURSELF IN GOOD HANDS

Surgery is performed to the highest standards. All patients deserve the very best in care, especially when they are dealing with debilitating spinal conditions.
