Zhou, who lives in Luwan District, has a happy life after retirement, but the shortcoming is that he suffers from hand numbness. He has been to all major hospitals, and has done physiotherapy and acupuncture many times, and has taken a lot of Chinese and Western medicines, but he is not well. The family was anxious to see the suffering of the old man. Finally, it was the granddaughter who learned from “”Net”” that minimally invasive surgery is currently used to treat cervical spondylosis with good results, and these patients’ symptoms are very similar to those of her grandfather, so she made an appointment online for a specialist’s outpatient number. After the expert diagnosis of cervical degenerative lesions, the surgery was performed on the second day of admission, and the old man woke up from anesthesia and felt relieved. According to experts, cervical spondylosis is often confused with orthopedic and neurological diseases due to its complex and diverse symptoms, thus delaying diagnosis and treatment. Professor Zhong reminds us that cervical spondylosis is important for prevention, especially for those “low-headed people” the load on the cervical spine will be great. For those who already have cervical spondylosis, they should not seek medical help, as inappropriate massage and closure may aggravate the symptoms and even lead to irreversible damage to the nerves. For those who have cervical spondylosis in the early stage, the right thing to do is to wear a cervical brace to keep the neck fully rested, and for patients whose symptoms tend to worsen, an MRI should be done promptly instead of just an X-ray, because the latter can only visualize the bony structures but not the nerve compression. If the nerve is obviously compressed, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. If the disease develops with upper limb weakness or even lower limb stiffness, it means that not only the cervical nerve is damaged but also the spinal cord is involved, suggesting a poor prognosis. It is true that in the eyes of many people, orthopedics may be the first to come to mind when cervical spine and spine are mentioned, but in fact, in the United States, 2/3 of spine surgeries are performed by neurosurgeons and only 1/3 by orthopedics. The vast majority of surgeries are performed under a microscope, where magnification of more than 10 times is possible, meaning that surgical trauma can be minimized and nerves can be protected to the greatest extent possible. According to a recent article published in 2014 in Spine, a leading international journal, Volume 39, Issue 19, comparing the outcomes of spine surgery by neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons, it was concluded that neurosurgeons have less bleeding, fewer complications, shorter hospital stays and lower costs than orthopedic surgeons. Their minimally invasive surgery requires only a small incision of 2-3 centimeters in the anterior cervical dermatome to remove the synaptic degeneration of the disc and the bony bulge and place an artificial disc under the microscope, allowing adequate decompression of the nerve and spinal cord. At the same time, memory material elastic clips are used to replace the steel nails and screws that have been used in traditional surgery to reset the vertebral body. Therefore, the surgery itself causes minimal trauma and the recovery is quick, and the patient can get out of bed and move around normally the next day.
