Pune, Aug 11: Doctors at Manipal Hospital Kharadi successfully removed a rare 17 cm benign spinal tumour from a 52-year-old senior IT engineer from Pune. An MRI scan later revealed a giant spinal tumour, following which he was referred to Manipal Hospital Kharadi for advanced treatment. Dr. Amit Mane, Hospital Director, Manipal Hospital Kharadi, said,“Treating complex spinal tumours requires advanced technology, surgical expertise, and coordinated multidisciplinary care. At Manipal Hospital Kharadi, we continue to support in advanced clinical capabilities to manage challenging cases with excellent outcomes.” Early neurological evaluation and timely MRI imaging can help detect spinal tumours before permanent nerve damage occurs.
