What new surgical methods are available for cervical spondylosis?

  Ms. Wang, 43, suffered from cervical spondylosis due to her long-term head-down work. Last August, Ms. Wang had an acute attack of cervical spondylosis with significant dizziness, stiff neck, back pain, panic and shortness of breath, and numbness in her arms. Ms. Wang went to a massage hospital to relieve her symptoms, and according to the CT film, the doctor recommended surgery to remove the more severe cervical disc herniation. Ms. Wang underwent minimally invasive surgery with low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation. After only half an hour, Ms. Wang felt much more relaxed than before and the pain gradually disappeared.  Cryo-plasma ablation belongs to the fourth generation of physical therapy technology. It is the most advanced minimally invasive spine surgery with precise and controlled decompression and shaping of the intervertebral disc through plasma cryoablation and precise thermal wrinkling technology. The method causes minimal tissue damage and is equivalent to receiving a needle at the patient with a diameter of only 1 mm. The principle of treatment is to apply radiofrequency energy to the interior of the disc through a plasma knife, vaporizing and ablating part of the disc nucleus pulposus, and using thermal coagulation to reduce the volume of the nucleus pulposus and decrease the pressure in the disc, thus eliminating the compression of the nerve roots when the disc is herniated and achieving the purpose of treatment. It has the advantages of low impact on spinal stability and low rate of re-protrusion of the disc; low interference with nerve roots; and short operation time. This method is suitable for cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation caused by nerve irritation due to increased pressure within the intervertebral disc.
