• Decompressive surgery plus postoperative radiotherapy is superior to treatment with radiotherapy alone for patients with spinal cord compression caused by metastatic cancer. (jbjs.org)
  • Currently, the optimal treatment includes maximal resection combined with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. (thejns.org)
  • The patient underwent a L3-4 laminectomy for decompression of syringomyelia and excision/biopsy of a space occupying lesion along with S1-2 laminectomy for cord untethering and Tarlov cyst fenestration. (surgicalneurologyint.com)
  • Here, we present a 23-year-old patient with a thoracolumbar intradural ependymal cyst and sacral Tarlov cyst with adult TCS/syringomyelia, which was treated successfully with microsurgical decompression (e.g. laminectomy L3-4 and S1-2) and shunting. (surgicalneurologyint.com)
  • D. Thoracic laminectomy alone will yield inadequate decompression since the metastatic lesion is anterior (T10 vertebral body). (jbjs.org)
  • Laminectomy, also referred to as decompression surgery, increases the spinal canal to ease pressure on the nerves or spinal cord. (surgerytoursindia.com)
  • Surgical resection plays a role, but aggressive lesions are challenging. (londonspine.com)
  • Simultaneous decompressive laminectomy of L3-4 and S1-2 effectively decompressed the syringomyelia while allowing for excision/biopsy of a space occupying lesion at the former and untethering and Tarlov cyst fenestration at the latter levels. (surgicalneurologyint.com)
  • Dr. Agrawal also performed emergency surgeries like laporotomy for stab, trauma, resection anastomosis, assistedwhipple's triple bypass, abdomino-peroneal resection as well as anterior resection. (drvivekagrawal.in)
  • With decompressive surgery and proactive interventions to improve spinal cord perfusion, early treatment has become more intensive. (neurosurgery.directory)
  • Decompressive laminectomy for spinal stenosis is the most common and effective type of surgery used to treat spinal stenosis. (medicalhealthtests.com)
  • Decompressive laminectomy for spinal stenosis is also used to treat other medical ailments including injury to the spinal cord, tumors as well as herniated discs. (medicalhealthtests.com)
  • 5 Direct surgical decompression may occasionally lead to instability (caused by continued degenerative processes, excessive facet resection, excess stress on remaining supporting structures, or natural history of LSS disease) which may result in recurrence of stenosis and leg and back pain.
