Cervical Spine Surgery
As with any surgery, there are risks and benefits associated with cervical spine surgery, and the decision to proceed with surgery is based on a thorough evaluation of the patient's condition. Non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy and medications, are usually explored before surgery is considered. The choice of the surgical approach depends on the specific diagnosis and the surgeon's judgment regarding the most appropriate method for addressing the patient's symptoms and spinal pathology. Here are some common types of cervical spine surgery:
1. Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
2. Posterior Cervical Decompression and Fuison
3. Cervical Disc Replacement (Disc Arthroplasty)
4. Corpectomy

Spinal oncology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of tumors affecting the spine.

Spinal oncologists work closely with other medical professionals, including neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, medical oncologists, pathologist, surgical oncologist, and radiation oncologists, to provide comprehensive care for individuals with spinal tumors.
