Overview

Spine tumors can be either benign (non cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and are located in or around the spinal cord and vertebrae. They can cause symptoms such as pain, neurological deficits and spinal instability. Mr. Irfan Malik use advanced imaging and surgical techniques to diagnose and treat these tumors. He provide comprehensive care for patients with spine tumors, focusing on personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual.

Key Benefits of Spine Tumor Surgery

  1. Surgeons use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to remove or treat spine tumors. This means smaller incisions, less damage to surrounding tissues, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. The benefits include less scarring, reduced post operative pain, and a faster return to normal activities.
  2. Precise visualization and intervention using advanced imaging techniques like MRI and CT scans, Mr. Irfan Malik can clearly visualize the tumor and surrounding structures. This allows for more precise removal of the tumor while minimizing the risk of damage to spinal cord or nerves. This accuracy leads to better outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.
