Qualitative surgical work at Al-Rahma Hospital in Darkoush A patient in his sixties visited Al-Rahma Hospital in Darkush with a story of severe paresis (paralysis) in the lower extremities for more than a month. After conducting the required investigations, it was found that there was a mass on the spinal cord in the region of the sixth and seventh dorsal vertebrae, pressing severely and causing paralysis.

The patient was prepared for surgery, and after conducting the necessary medical consultations, surgery was performed and the mass was completely removed, freeing the marrow from the adhesions present due to the mass, and then closing the meninges and muscle tissue. The patient was monitored for three days after surgery, where his condition was evaluated and the improvement is clear in muscle strength, with a decrease in foot drop and the ability to walk with simple assistance from a companion. Within a week, the patient will be able, God willing, to walk independently and without assistance.
