Low cost advantage in India for Cervical fusion surgery

Oct. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- Determining the direction of approach for cervical fusion surgery:

Cervical fusion surgery can either be done from the front (anterior approach) or from the back (posterior approach). In general, where possible, most surgeons for most conditions favor an anterior approach. An anterior approach results in less disruption of the normal musculature and is also easier to maintain the normal alignment of the spine. Cervical Spine Surgery is generally performed on an elective basis to treat either - Nerve/spinal cord impingement (decompression surgery) and Spinal instability (fusion surgery). The two procedures are often combined, as a decompression may de-stabilize the spine and create the need for a fusion to add stability. Spinal instrumentation (such as a small plate) can also be used to help add stability to the spinal construct.


The Cervical Spine:

The cervical spine refers to the neck. The cervical spine begins at the base of the skull and serves as a bridge between the brain and the rest of the body. While a strain or sprain of the cervical spine may result in acute neck that gets better in time, a larger problem with the cervical spine often results in chronic neck pain. Cervical Spine Anatomy consists of seven vertebral bodies (C1-C7). Irritation to any of these vertebrae in the neck may lead to different types of cervical spine pain. Examine the cervical spine, what conditions may cause a cervical fusion injury then determine the need of having cervical fusion surgery.


Understanding cervical spinal fusion:

Anterior cervical spinal fusion surgeries are commonly done in conjunction with an anterior cervical discectomy. For many patients, cervical spinal fusion surgery (fusing one vertebra to another) is often done to eliminate motion at a vertebral segment. Decreasing the motion at a painful motion segment should decrease the pain at that segment. Achieving fusion through the procedure of cervical spine surgery also serves to maintain adequate space for the decompressed spinal cord and / or nerve roots. The fusion may also prevent the spine from falling into a collapsed deformity (kyphosis).
