Critical Cervical Spine Surgeries

Our cervical spine and the spinal cord passing through it are a very vital region. Diseases such as spinal fractures, spinal shifts, tumors, cervical spinal canal stenosis, and cervical hernias, which occur as a result of blows to this region after an accident, are often treated surgically. These surgeries are critical surgeries of vital importance. Below you can see the list of these surgeries.

Surgeries performed from the back of the neck:

• Occipito-cervical instrumentation: Screws and plates attach the skull to the cervical vertebrae. -joining with rod systems

• C2-1 Magerl surgery: Screwing surgery performed to join the 1st and 2nd vertebrae together in case of slippage

• C1-2 Harms surgery: Screwing surgery performed to unite the 1st and 2nd vertebrae in case they slip.

• Lateral mass-Pedicle screw-rod surgery: Cervical vertebrae performed from the nape of the neck Surgery to insert screws and rods used for fixation to each other

• Laminoplasty surgery: It is a surgery performed from the nape of the neck and using mini plates to expand the neck spine-spinal canal.

Surgeries performed from the front of the neck:

• C2-1 frontal screwing surgery: Screwing surgery performed to connect the vertebrae together in case they slip

• Odontoid screwing: 2. Screw joining surgery for fractures of the odontoid part of the vertebra

• Anterior cervical discectomy surgery: Removing frontal cervical hernias surgery

• Cervical corpectomy: Surgery to remove the cervical vertebrae from the front

• Placing an anterior cervical plate: It is the surgery to connect the cervical vertebrae to each other. .

• Placing a cervical cage: It is the placement of materials made of titanium or PEEK material, which are replaced by the removed cervical hernia or cervical vertebra, in the vacated area.

These surgeries can be performed on a single patient or in more than one surgery on the same patient.

Critical cervical spine surgeries

 

Our cervical spine and the spina l cord passing through it are vitally important. Spine fractures, spine slipping, tumors, canal stenosis, disc herniations are often treated surgically. These operations are critical operations with vital importance. Below you see a list of these surgeries.

 

Surgery behind the neck -

• Occipitocervical instrumentation: Immobilization the skull with neck by screws and plate-rod systems

• C2-1 Magerl approach: Procedure for fusion of 1. And 2. cervical vertebrae

• C1-2 Harms approach: Procedure for fusion of 1. And 2. cervical vertebrae .

• Lateral mass-pedicle screw-rod surgery:  Procedure for achievment satble construct at the posterior cervical part

• Laminoplasty :Is used to expand the cervical spinal canal.

 

Surgery in front of the neck:

• C2-1 anterior transarticular fixation: Fixation of C1 an C2 vertebra to each other in case of a shift of the vertebrae

• Odontoid fixation: fixation of odontoid bone in case of fracture

• Anterior cervical discectomy: Cervical disc herniation

• Cervical corpectomy:  Removal of the vertebral body as well as the disc spaces at either end to completely decompress the cervical canal.

• Anterior cervical plate insertion: reinforced with a metal plate screwed into the vertebrae to provide stability during fusion..

• Insertion of cervical cages: The removal of the materials made of titanium or PEEK material removed from the removed neck hernia or neck vertebrae.

These operations can be performed either single or combined choosing to surgical decision making.
