A "burr-hole" is a small
opening in the skull made with a surgical drill. A hole
is drilled down to the dura or protective sheath around
the brain. The dura is then cut to allow accumulated
fluids to drain out through a catheter. |

Compression of nerves or spinal
cord is usually caused by disc material or bony spurs. |
|
In an anterior cervical
decompression and fusion procedure the approach is from
the front of the neck . The procedure involves removal
of disc and/or bone mass. The resulting cavity is then
filled with a bone graft from the hip. Sometimes screws
and plates are used to hold the structure in place. |

Lumbar laminectomy is a surgical
incision into the backbone to obtain access to the
spinal cord. It is used to treat herniated
intervertebral discs, or to relieve pressure on a spinal
nerve, which occurs when spinal nerves are pinched by a
narrowing of the spinal canal. |

| Duration of Treatment |

Spinal fusion is a procedure which
joins or ‘fuses’ one or more of the vertebrae
of the spine in order to prevent any motion between
them. Bone grafts are placed around the spine during the
fusion procedure. The grafts, after several months of
healing and growth in the surgery site, weld the
vertebrae together. |

A spinal tumor is a cancerous
or non-cancerous growth within or near the spinal
cord or in the bones of the spine. The physical mass
of the growth can impinge on nerves in the spinal
region causing pain, neurological problems and even
paralysis, in extreme cases. |
| |
|
Diagnosis is done on the basis
of medical history and physical examination followed
by MRI, CT , myelogram, positron emission tomography
(PET scans) and nuclear medicine bone scans A biopsy
will be done to determine if the growth is malignant
and will also help in staging the cancer if the
tumour is malignant. |

Recovery from surgery depends
on the nature and extent of surgery. In most cases,
hospital stay would be in the range of 7-12 days,
with recuperation over several weeks. |
