Abstract
At present, the concept of compartmentalization is helpful in surgery for spinal cord tumors. However, in near future, the following advancements could further improve the outcome, including optics for better visualizing the tumor, physiological tools for better delineation of the individual tracts, genomic input for understanding tumorigenesis of spinal cord tumors, and finally better understanding of the natural history.
