Posterior Cervical Laminectomy for Cervical Spine:
This procedure requires a small incision in the middle of the neck to remove bone spur formations or disc material. The foramen, the passage in the vertebrae of the spine through which the spinal nerve roots travel is enlarged, to allow the nerves to pass through.
Surgeon will remove a section of the lamina (the back bony part of the vertebrae) and ligament to find the exact area of the compression. An operating microscope is used to create an opening, and part of the lamina is removed to take pressure off the nerves and spinal cord. If needed, bone spurs, tissue and any disc fragments causing the compression are also removed.
Anterior Cervical Disectomy for Cervical Spine:
This operation is performed on the neck to relieve pressure on one or more nerve roots, or on the spinal cord.The Cervical Spine is reached through a small incision in the anterior (front) of your neck. If only one disc is to be removed, it will typically be a small horizontal incision in the crease of the skin. If the operation is more extensive, it may require a slanted or longer incision. After the soft tissues of the neck are separated, the intervertebral disc and bone spurs are removed. The space left between the vertebrae may be left open or filled with a small piece of bone through spinal fusion.
Anterior Cervical Corpectomy for cervical spine:
This operation is performed in conjunction with the anterior cervical disectomy. The corpectomy is often done for multi-level cervical stenosis with spinal cord compression caused by bone spur formations. In this procedure, the neurosurgeon removes a part of the vertebral body to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. One or more vertebral bodies may be removed including the adjoining discs. The incision is generally larger. The space between the vertebrae is filled using a small piece of bone through spinal fusion. Because more bone is removed, the recovery process for the fusion to heal and the neck to become stable is generally longer than with anterior cervical discectomy. Surgeon may select to use a metal plate that is screwed into the front of the vertebra to help the healing process.
Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement surgery:
This procedure allows us to decompress the nerves in your neck without compromising your ability to move your neck. Traditionally, orthopaedic surgeons treat neck pain caused by pressure on the nerves and spinal cord with fusion surgery, which unites affected vertebrae into one solid bone. This resolves pain, but replaces it with neck stiffness. Cervical artificial replacement not only resolves your pain, it preserves your neck range of motion. This unique motion-sparing technique also allows you to return to your normal activities faster and with fewer post-operative safety measures.

Case of Mr. Peter, 56 year old man from Nigeria
“The gentleman was suffering from Advanced Degenerative Disc Disease in the Cervical Spine with Severe Spinal Stenosis due to Disc Prolapse at C4C5, C5C6 and C6-C7.
The gentleman was offered the following opinion and assistance-
Recommended Surgery For Cervical Spine: The recommended surgery is Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion. In this surgery, diseased disc would be excised completely and replaced with spacer device, pressure over spinal cord is released and the two bones are fused together with anterior cervical plate.
On arrival the gentleman would require detailed clinical investigations which may include MRI Spine, Blood Monitoring and Spine X-rays before the treatment.
The Surgery is done using latest state of the art minimally invasive techniques using US FDA approved implants. Doctors use Neuro-Monitoring during surgery which helps to continuously monitor nerves and muscles during surgery which greatly reduces the risk of damage to nerves and muscles during surgery and thus making this surgery very safe.
The implants are titanium pedicle screws.
Prognosis: Very Good. The Success rate of the Surgery is 98%.
