Cervical vertebral hyperplasia surgical methods
In clinical practice, for patients with severe cervical spondylosis, such as those showing clear compression of the spinal nerves, exhibiting numbness, weakness, and pain in one or both arms, instability in walking, a sensation of stepping on cotton, or even abnormal urination and defecation, it is necessary to actively pursue surgical treatment. The surgery usually requires general anesthesia and involves the removal of the intervertebral disc, enlargement and decompression of the spinal canal, and vertebral interbody fusion with internal fixation. This should suffice. After the surgery, it is necessary to wear a neck brace for protection for about a month and a half, after which the neck brace can be removed to allow for appropriate activities.
