Syringomyelia operation, typically performed by a neurosurgeon, involves the surgical treatment of a syrinx, which is a fluid-filled cyst that forms within the spinal cord. The primary goal of the procedure is to alleviate symptoms such as pain, weakness, and sensory disturbances caused by the syrinx. Techniques may include decompression of the spinal cord or shunt placement to drain the fluid. The specific approach depends on the syrinx's size, location, and underlying causes.
