What is Neurosurgery?

Orthopedic oncology is a specific branch of medicine that concentrates on diagnosing and treating tumors and cancers of the bones, cartilage, fibrous tissues, muscles, nervous tissues, soft tissues, and vessels. Despite their rarity, accounting for only 0.5% of global cancer cases, these conditions pose significant challenges to orthopedic surgeons. However, recent research indicates an increasing incidence of bone cancer, which can be treated with advanced diagnostic methods, innovative treatments, and comprehensive management approaches, thereby addressing the complexities of musculoskeletal oncology. Let’s understand some of the conditions that fall under orthopedic oncology.

Procedures for Neuro and Spine Surgery at Adarsh Hospital:

1. Spinal Fusion: A procedure that fuses two or more spinal bones (vertebrae) together to prevent movement and reduce pain. It is used to treat spinal problems such as disc degeneration or fractures.
2. Laminectomy: A procedure that removes part of the spinal bone (lamina) to create more space for the spinal cord or nerves. It is used to treat spinal narrowing (stenosis) that causes nerve compression and pain.
3. Discectomy: A procedure that removes a disc or part of a disc that has slipped out of place (herniated) and presses on a spinal nerve. It is used to treat nerve pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs.
4. Microdiscectomy: A less invasive version of discectomy that uses a small cut and special tools to remove herniated disc material. It causes less damage to the surrounding tissues and allows for faster recovery.
5. Artificial Disc Replacement: A procedure that replaces a worn-out or damaged spinal disc with a synthetic one. It is used to restore spinal function and mobility while relieving pain and keeping the natural shape of the spine.
6. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: A type of surgery that uses small cuts and advanced tools to treat various spine conditions. It causes less harm to the muscles and other structures around the spine and leads to quicker recovery.
7. Cervical and lumbar disc surgeries: These are surgeries that remove the damaged discs in the neck or lower back, and replace them with artificial discs or bone grafts.
8. Degenerative spine surgeries: These are surgeries that treat the wear and tear of the spine due to ageing, arthritis, or injury, and restore the stability and alignment of the spine.
9. Surgeries for spine tumours: These are surgeries that remove the benign or malignant growths in the spine or spinal cord, and prevent the compression of the nerves or spinal cord.
10. Spinal injuries and fractures: These are surgeries that repair the damage to the spine or spinal cord caused by trauma, such as falls, accidents, or violence, and prevent the paralysis or disability of the patient.
11. Image-guided and keyhole surgeries: These are surgeries that use advanced technology, such as neuro-navigation, neuro-monitoring, microscopes, endoscopes, lasers, robots, and implants, to perform the surgery through small incisions, with minimal blood loss, pain, and scarring.

Causes

Studies have shown that many cases of bone cancer are neglected, resulting in delayed presentation, particularly among those of low socioeconomic status, individuals with limited education, and those with poor access to healthcare facilities. Initial visits to traditional bone setters and misdiagnoses also contribute to this issue. Despite negligence, the exact cause of bone cancer remains unclear. However, major risk factors for bone cancers include:

1. Previous exposure to radiation therapy
2. Genetic predisposition
3. Compromised immunity or immune system abnormalities
4. Lymphedema
5. Exposure to harmful chemicals
