Primary spinal tumors develop right on the spine while metastatic spinal tumors spread from other areas of the body.

A minimally invasive procedure is used to excise the spinal tumor followed by injection of bone cement into the spine.

Sciatic nerve is a bundle of nerves originating from five nerve roots in the spinal cord that runs down the lower back to the legs.
