"We advised that surgery was necessary and informed her of all the risks. She was ready for it," explained Dr Yogesh. "The surgery took just under six hours and the spinal tumour was removed through a minimally-invasive approach that uses an operating microscope. We had no complications and it was a monumental success; she was mobilised the following day."
When this type of surgery is conventionally performed, it requires a large incision that leads to considerable blood loss. The surgery time is also longer and many complications can occur. But advancements in medical science has minimised the risk.
Fatima was hosptialised on Sunday, had the surgery on Monday and was walking on Tuesday. She was released on Thursday after monitoring.
It is not yet clear why these spinal tumours develop but they can occur in both children and adults. While it is suspected that defective genes play a role, it is uncertain whether they are inherited, occur spontaneously or are caused by something in the environment, such as exposure to certain chemicals. In some cases, however, spinal cord tumours are linked to known inherited syndromes, such as neurofibromatosis 2 and von Hippel-Lindau disease.
