Cervical corpectomy:

A corpectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a vertebral body, usually to decompress the spinal cord. In this surgery, the vertebral bodies and adjacent vertebral discs are removed in order to alleviate the pressure on the spinal cord, which is causing spinal stenosis and cervical myelopathy. A bone graft is then inserted into the space to allow for a fusion of the bone segments into one long bone. The procedure can also be used treat some fractures, tumors, infections or spinal deformities. A corpectomy is surgery to relieve pressure on the spinal cord due to spinal stenosis. In spinal stenosis, bone spurs press against the spinal cord, leading to a condition called myelopathy. This can produce problems with the bowels and bladder and disrupt the way you walk. In a corpectomy, the front part of the spinal column is removed. Bone grafts are used to fill in the space. This procedure is used when bone spurs have developed in more than one vertebra.

Cervical corpectomy surgery procedure:

The general procedure for anterior cervical corpectomy surgery is as follows: The approach is similar to a discectomy spine surgery (anterior approach) although a larger and more vertical incision in the neck will often be used to allow more extensive exposure. The spine surgeon then performs a discectomy at either end of the vertebral body that will be removed. More than one vertebral body may be removed. The skin incision is about one inch and horizontal and can be made on the left or right hand side of the neck. A more vertical incision in the neck will often be used to allow more extensive exposure. The thin platysma muscle is then split and the plane between the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the strap muscles is then entered. The posterior longitudinal ligament is often removed to allow access to the cervical canal and to ensure complete removal of the pressure on the spinal cord and/or nerve roots.

Complications cervical corpectomy surgery:

As with all major surgical procedures, complications can occur. Some of the most common complications following corpectomy surgery include

problems with anesthesia

thrombophlebitis

infection

nerve damage

problems with the graft or hardware

nonunion

Ongoing pain

What happens after cervical corpectomy spine surgery?

Most patients are placed in a rigid neck brace or a halo vest, for a minimum of three months after surgery. These restrictive measures may not be needed if the surgeon attached metal hardware to the spine during the surgery.

Patients usually stay in the hospital after surgery for up to one week. During this time, a physical therapist will schedule daily sessions to help patients learn safe ways to move, dress, and do activities without putting extra strain on the neck.

Patients are able to return home when their medical condition is stable. However, they are usually required to keep their activities to a minimum in order to give the graft time to heal. Outpatient physical therapy is usually started five weeks after the date of surgery
