About Cervical Spine Surgery
Cervical Spine Surgery is carried out by our team of expert surgeons according to the case of their patients altogether in a caring manner. It decompresses nerve impingement or spinal cord. It can also stabilize the cervical spine or treat cervical radiculopathy. It
It is of two types:
- Anterior fusion, where a disc and vertebrae may be removed and stabilizing cages may be employed in their place to help regrow the bone around the cage with the help of a bone stimulator.
- Posterior fusion is done in conjunction with an anterior fusion to further stabilize the neck and relieve the compression on the spinal cord and the back nerves through the use of secure rods.
The surgery has minimal side effects and is only recommended to patients who might benefit from it.
Why go for a Cervical Spine Surgery?
Doctors recommend Cervical Spine Surgery to patients to treat their issues in the neck like misalignment, compressed nerves, spinal cord abnormalities or more like:
- Removing parts of the bone or disc causing nerve pain
- Fusing the adjacent vertebrae together to create stability
- Widening the spinal canal to relieve spinal cord compression
- Removing tumors or masses
The surgeons recommending this surgery have the goal of:
- Alleviating neck pain
- Alleviating arm pain
- Maintaining spinal stability
- Improving spinal alignment
- Preserving neck mobility and range of motions
- Revise a previously failed surgery to achieve better outcomes
When do our doctors recommend Cervical Spine Surgery?
Some common indicators used for recommending Cervical Spine Surgery by our doctors are as follows:
- Recurrent arm pain
- Persistency in arm pain
- Unresponsiveness to non-surgical treatment for a minimum of six months
- Progression in neurological deficits, especially definitive motor weakness
- MRI or other imaging findings which correlate with and confirm the signs and symptoms of a patient needing this surgery
It is a patient’s choice to go through the surgery or not. A doctor only recommends surgery in the absence of spinal tumours, traumatic accidental injury, or acute injury to the spinal cord. In case a patient has suffered from any of these injuries immediate surgery is needed as a source of medical attention.
The conditions a Cervical Spine Surgery can treat are:
- Cervical herniated disc
- Cervical spondylolisthesis
- Spondylosis
- Spinal tumors
- Cervical degenerative disc disease
- Ligament ossification
- Traumatic instability of the cervical spine
