Do I need to be minimally invasive for cervical spondylosis?

  Many friends ask me if minimally invasive surgery is possible for cervical spondylosis. In fact, people are not quite clear about the concept of minimally invasive.  Generally speaking, minimally invasive refers to surgery with small incisions, less bleeding and faster recovery. Due to the unique anatomical structure of the anterior cervical spine, there is very little subcutaneous fat and muscle, which can be easily stretched during the surgical exposure, and the neurovascular can be seen clearly under direct vision. You can sit up on the day of surgery and be discharged home in 3-5 days. Due to the cosmetic stitching, you can hardly see the incision after surgery. Some propaganda currently says how good the advantages of minimally invasive anterior perforation surgery for cervical spondylosis are, but this is only a new technology with very few adaptable people, and the probability of recurrence and surgical complications are yet to be proven, so you don’t have to blindly believe in the so-called foramoscopic minimally invasive cervical spine surgery. If one day I have the misfortune to suffer from cervical spondylosis and need surgery, I will not choose this gimmicky type of publicity surgery, you should understand some of it.  What is the efficacy of plasma radiofrequency ablation for neurogenic cervical spondylosis and vertebral artery cervical spondylosis? The efficiency is about 50%, as a transitional treatment, you can try it when you are repeatedly conservative and do not want to operate immediately, but do not go to private hospitals, where the technology and operation are not standardized, almost all the people who have taken the film are the objects they are looking for surgery, so you should not believe in the network or newspaper and television propaganda, at present these media do not have a minimum level of conscience and evaluation. As long as you pay the publicity fee, the advertisement will be published as usual, so don’t fall for it.
