Surgery should be considered when cervical spondylosis meets the following conditions: 1. Symptoms of cervical spondylosis exist, such as neck pain, numbness and radiating pain in the upper limbs, inflexible fingers, inability to complete fine movements such as writing, tying buttons and holding chopsticks, unstable walking and a feeling of stepping on cotton on the soles of the feet, etc., which have been ineffective after more than 6 months of strict conservative treatment; 2. The patient’s symptoms seriously affect his or her daily life; 3. Indications, such as cervical instability, dislocation, spinal cord and nerve roots with more serious compression; we should consider surgery for the above cases of cervical spondylosis. Surgery can relieve the compression of the spinal cord and nerves, restore their function, stabilize the spine and avoid further aggravation of the injury. Surgery for cervical spondylosis does have some risks compared to surgery for lumbar spine. Because there are large blood vessels, spinal cord, nerves, esophagus, trachea and other important tissues in the neck, damage to any of them can have catastrophic consequences. But I personally think that the risk of cervical spine surgery is not very big. The risk of a surgery depends on the surgeon who operates on you, and with the escort of an excellent surgeon, the risk of cervical spine surgery is very small, and patients will be treated satisfactorily after surgery. So I recommend that you go to a major hospital for cervical spine surgery, and generally go to a tertiary care hospital to find a skilled spine surgeon.
