What is
Cervical Spine?
Cervical spine
is the part of the spine in your neck. The spinal cord sits inside a tunnel
created by the vertebrae. Vertebras are actually the bones that make up the
spine. Moreover, it is also sheltered by a soft layer of tissue called the
dura. The epidural space is the area between the boney canal and the dura layer
of the spinal cord.
- · Anterior Cervical Corpectomy
- · Anterior Cervical Discectomy and fusion
- · Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion( intervertebral Spacer)
- · Artificial Cervical Disk Replacement ( PCM)
Anterior Cervical Corpectomy- This surgery is done for multi-level cervical stenosis with spinal
cord compression caused by bone spur (osteophytes) growth.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and fusion –
The surgery is done to eliminate motion at a
vertebral segment that decreases the pain at that segment. Moreover, these
cervical surgical procedures maintain ample space for the decompressed spinal
cord and prevent the spine from falling into collapsed deformity.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
(intervertebral Spacer) – This surgical procedure
removes a herniated disk and injured disk and relieves the neck and the arm
pain caused by parts of the disk pressing on the nerve roots.
Artificial Cervical Disk Replacement
(PCM) – This cervical spine procedure facilitate
the patient to relieve the pain caused by the pinch nerves due to a damaged
disc in the cervical spine.
