Thoracic spinal cord lesion resection is a surgical procedure performed to remove abnormal growths or lesions in the thoracic region of the spinal cord. This surgery aims to relieve pressure on the spinal cord, restore neurological function, and alleviate symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness. A microscope is used due to the delicate nature of the operation and rehabilitation is sometimes required in the immediate post-operative period.
Internal fixation of thoracic fractures is a surgical technique used to stabilise and align broken bones in the thoracic region of the spine. It involves the use of screws, plates or rods to hole the fractured bones in place, allowing for optimal healing and minimizing complications, such as the fracture becoming unstable.
