Surgical treatment of cervical spurs

Cervical bone spur surgery is divided into anterior and posterior surgery. Anterior surgery is performed from the front of the neck to remove the bone spurs that are pressing on the nerves and spinal cord, and at the same time deal with the intervertebral discs for fusion and internal fixation. If the patient has bone spurs in more than two segments and is accompanied by spinal stenosis, posterior surgery is usually performed to open up and enlarge the spinal canal from the back to indirectly decompress the spinal canal, which also achieves the therapeutic purpose. Cervical spine surgery is more risky than other parts of the body, but the surgeon is usually more familiar with the anatomical structure and is skilled in the surgical procedure, so the surgery can be completed successfully.
