ANTERIOR CERVICAL DISCECTOMY TREATMENT INDIA –
AFFORDABLE COST
Anterior Cervical Discectomy In India

An incision is made on the skin of one to two inches and horizontal

and can be made on the left or right hand side of the neck. Retractors are used to
gently separate and hold the neck muscles and soft tissues apart so that surgeon
can work on front of the spine.

The thin platysma muscles under the skin is then spilt in line with the skin incision
and the place between the sternocleidomastiod muscle and the strap muscles is
then entered. Next,a plane between the trachea/esophagus and the carotid sheath
can be entered. A thin fascia covers the spine which is dissected away from the disc
space. Then a needle is inserted into the disc space and an X ray is done to confirm
that the surgeon is at a correct level of spine.
Posterior Cervical Dissectomy
•
•Surgery for posterior cervical dissectomy may be performed with patient on his or
her stomach or sitting position.
•
•
•This surgical technique involves an incision in the back of the neck in the midline.
The neck muscles are moved aside to access the back of the spinal column usually
resulting in more short term discomfort than the anterior approach.
•
•The microscope or an endoscope is used to look down the tube and visualize the
spine.
•
•The bone over the nerve root is exposed and then a portion of this is removed with
a special instrument taking any remaining pressure off the nerve. The operation is
completed when the neck incision is closed in several layers.
•
•The traction pull is released. Then the surgeon tests the graft by bending and
turning the neck to make sure it is in the right spot and is locked in place. Another
X-ray may be taken to double check the location of the graft.
•
•
•A drainage tube may be placed in the wound. The muscles and soft tissues are put
back in place, and the skin is stitched together. The surgeon may place your neck in
a rigid collar.
