About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Spinal Neoplasms focused on measuring Intra-spinal Canal, Tumor, Minimal Invasive Surgery, Clinical Trial, Quadrant Channel

Inclusion Criteria:
- The patient should meet the diagnostic criteria of intra-spinal canal tumors and the indications for surgery. Meanwhile, the length of tumor should no more than 5 cm, and the cross-sectional area should be less than 2/3 of the respective area of the spinal canal.
- The patient was never be treated with any spinal surgery.
- There was no cognitive impairment before onset of diseases or other diseases which can cause cognitive dysfunction.
- The patient should sign the informed consent forms.
Exclusion Criteria:
- The patient is diagnozed as non intra-spinal canal tumors, spinal degenerative diseases, or other spinal diseases.
- The patient received spinal surgery previously.
- The patient suffered from serious heart, lung, liver, or kidney insufficiency.
- The patient has other spinal and spinal cord diseases rather than intra-spinal canal tumor, such as disc herniation, vertebral fractures.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
Trans-Quadrant Channel Surgery
Conventional Open Surgery
Patients in the experimental arm (experimental group, i.e. microsurgery through trans-Quadrant channel pathway) will be operated using Quadrant channel system. All the tumor resection will be operated through the Quadrant channel with assistance of microsurgical techniques.
Patients in the active comparator arm (control group, i.e. conventional open surgery) will be operated using the conventional open surgery. All the tumor resection will be operated directly with conventional procedures. More posterior structures of spine will be removed.
