How is “cervical disc herniation surgery” performed under a microscope?

Cervical disc herniation is a common orthopedic surgery, and although it is possible to perform the surgery without a microscope, the precision of the surgery is not comparable to operating under a microscope. Cervical spine surgery is commonly performed in Singapore under an operating microscope. Precision surgery is the key to ensuring efficacy and minimizing surgical complications. Dr. Qifeng uses an operating microscope and operates under surgical magnification. This allows details of the anterior cervical spine, which are difficult to visualize with the naked eye, to be seen very clearly under the operating microscope. When the anterior cervical approach reaches the deep surface of the posterior longitudinal ligament, the very small blood vessels pulsating under the dura mater can be clearly seen through the dura mater. The microscope greatly improves the precision of surgical operations. Our advanced surgical microscope can be adjusted in magnification and the distance between the microscope and the surgical area can also be adjusted, which greatly facilitates surgical operations. Specialized training is required to operate under the microscope, and since Dr. Qi Feng has done microsurgical work for many years, he is very comfortable using the microscope.
