RESECTION OF CAUDA EQUINA TUMORS

First Class Care with Emotion and Understanding

Resection of Cauda Equina Tumors Surgeon

Resection of Cauda Equina Tumors Manhattan

Resection of Cauda Equina Tumors in Manhattan is a significant part of the work of any spine surgeon, and one which most people have never heard of.
The spinal cord itself finishes by approximately the level of the second lumbar vertebra (in the back, opposite to the navel). The Cauda Equina (which translates from Latin as “horse’s tail”) is a bundle of eleven pairs of spinal nerves and nerve roots at the base of the spinal cord, and these extend down into the coccyx (tailbone). These nerves supply the pelvic organs, anus, urethra, bladder, and lower legs.

Cauda Equina Syndrome is a medical emergency whereby the nerve roots are compressed. This can cause permanent damage to bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and paralysis. In most cases, Cauda Equina Syndrome is the result of massive lumbar disc herniation. It can also be the result of a Cauda Equina Tumor.

Cauda Equina Tumors – Symptoms and Causes

There are a number of different types of tumors that can affect the Cauda Equina. These include but are not limited to:

Myxopapillary ependymoma – most common cause; more common in young men

Schwannoma – second most common cause

Meningioma – benign tumor

Dermoid cyst – benign tumor

Secondary cancers

Symptoms of a tumor of the Cauda Equina include lower back pain, tingling and numbness in the buttocks and legs, weakness or paralysis, bowel or bladder dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, and “saddle anesthesia:” numbness or pain in the area which would touch a saddle when horse riding.

The Benefits of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in Manhattan for Resection of Cauda Equina Tumors

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in Manhattan is the surgical approach of choice to remove Cauda Equina Tumors. Minimally invasive means that this particular approach preserves as much healthy tissue as possible, allowing the patient to suffer fewer traumas from the surgery and to recover more quickly.
