About the offer

Spinal decompression surgery is a treatment option for syringomyelia that involves creating more space within the spinal cord to relieve pressure on the syrinx or fluid-filled cavity. Before surgery, various examinations and tests are conducted to evaluate the patient's overall health and determine the best course of treatment. These tests include clinical history-taking, physical examination, neurological examination, laboratory tests, and imaging tests like MRI scans, electrocardiograms, and chest X-rays. They aim to provide an accurate diagnosis of the patient's condition, which informs appropriate treatment decisions to manage the symptoms and prevent further damage to the spinal cord. The surgery aims to relieve symptoms such as pain and weakness, improve function and mobility, and prevent further neurological damage. Spinal decompression surgery is a treatment for syringomyelia where the spine surgeon creates more space in the spinal canal to relieve pressure and prevent spinal cord compression. It is done through decompression laminectomy, where the surgeon removes the back part of the vertebrae, called the lamina or syrinx removal, to release the spinal cord. This syringomyelia spinal operation is done under general anesthesia and requires an inpatient hospital stay. Postoperative care and symptomatic treatment are also provided to ensure a smooth recovery and long-term success of the procedure.
