Cervical spine surgery aims to alleviate neck pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness by restoring nerve function and preventing abnormal motion in the neck. The procedure involves the removal of a disc or bone, followed by the fusion of vertebrae using a bone graft, which can be either an autograft or allograft. Stabilisation with metal plates and screws may be employed if necessary, known as instrumentation. Alternatively, cervical disc replacement offers motion preservation as an alternative option.
Cervical spine surgery may be indicated for degenerative disorders, trauma, or instability, leading to pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
While the success rate of cervical spine surgery is high, complications have been reported. The most common complication is a dural tear (a tear in the protective covering of the spinal cord), with an incidence of only 0.77%. C5 palsy (temporary paralysis in one or both arms) is the second most common, with an incidence of 0.42%. Although complications are generally rare, the risk may vary based on the specific type of neck surgery undergone.
