The evolution of intramedullary spinal cord tumor (IMSCT) surgery reflects a continuous pursuit of safer and more effective treatments, culminating in highly specialized contemporary practices. This continued innovation reflects the progression from initial endeavors to understanding the human spinal cord to the sophisticated technological and molecular insights of today. As we continue to advance our field of IMSCT surgery, reflecting on its history demonstrates that our trajectory remains true to further improving the safety, efficacy, and ultimately, the quality of life for patients undergoing IMSCT surgery.
