Some diseases require immediate surgical treatment, which is an emergency surgery; some diseases can wait for a period of time before surgery, on the one hand, patients can adjust their physical and psychological state during this time, on the other hand, the waiting period will not cause rapid progress of the disease, this kind of surgery is elective surgery. Most of the intravertebral tumors are slow growing and can be operated electively. A small number of tumors, especially malignant tumors, should be admitted to the hospital as soon as they need to be surgically removed. In order to avoid the tumor getting more and more serious as time progresses. Generally speaking, malignant gliomas, metastatic tumors in the spinal canal, and lymphomas should be treated by surgery as soon as possible. Some other tumors that have grown relatively large and have caused neurological damage should also be operated early to prevent the symptoms from getting more and more serious. Other benign or slow-growing tumors can be operated on electively, but not late. For pediatric patients, surgery should be performed as early as possible after the discovery of intravertebral tumor to prevent the tumor from causing permanent nerve damage and affecting the growth and development of the child. And if the child’s neurological impairment is not yet very serious, you can choose to operate when the child is in better health or can tolerate the surgical trauma. In conclusion, on the one hand, the lighter the degree of neurological damage, the better the effect of surgery; if the patient already has serious neurological damage before surgery, it is more difficult to recover from the organic damage of neural tissue because the neurons are currently damaged or cannot be regenerated after necrosis, and surgery is only to relieve the condition and cannot directly repair the damaged nerves. On the other hand, surgery must be performed when the patient is in good health and well-nourished to ensure that the surgery is performed safely. Once the patient has decided to have surgery, he or she can take the relevant examination data and imaging films to the doctor for consultation on the surgical plan. Once the doctor determines that surgery is possible, the patient will be given an inpatient order, and the patient will usually have to wait for a bed for some time, several weeks or months are possible.
