Abstract

A spinal cord is a crucial component of the central nervous system which controls the motor, sensation and autonomic nervous system to maintain the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The microsurgical neuroanatomy of the spinal cord is delicate and complicated; therefore, the lesions that involve the spinal cord may cause serious neurological deficits and symptoms that affect normal daily life. The microsurgery of spinal cord tumors and spinal cysts requires experienced neurosurgeons to operate microsurgical resection. Division of Neurological Surgery, Department of Surgery, Police General Hospital established a successful outcome for the microsurgery of spinal cord tumors and spinal cysts by the author team. In the previous 2.5 years, we operated on 16 patients who had suffered from spinal cord tumors and spinal cysts in various anatomical locations, pathological diagnoses, and preoperative neurological deficits. The outcome of the operative treatment was satisfactory, all patients in our groups had a better quality of life.
