At Dr. Ahmed Elghoul’s Clinics, we provide advanced, comprehensive care for spinal cord and spine tumors using the latest global techniques, while preserving neurological function and improving quality of life.
What are Spine Tumors?
Spine tumors can grow within the spinal canal, alongside the nerves, or inside the vertebrae themselves. They may be:
-
Primary tumors: originating from spinal tissues
-
Secondary tumors: metastasized from other organs
These tumors can cause symptoms such as:
-
Persistent back pain, often worsening at night
-
Numbness or weakness in the arms or legs
-
Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
-
In advanced cases, problems controlling the bladder or bowels
Comprehensive Diagnostic Services:
We provide precise tumor diagnosis through clinical examination, MRI scans, and CT scans of the vertebrae. In some cases, a biopsy is required to determine the tumor type.
To ensure optimal safety and outcomes, surgery is performed using:
-
High-precision surgical microscopes
-
Intraoperative nerve and spinal cord monitoring to protect neurological function
-
Microsurgical tumor removal, removing the largest possible portion safely
-
Surgical navigation systems for accurate tumor localization and dimensions
After tissue analysis, we determine whether the patient requires adjuvant therapy, such as chemotherapy or radiation.
