The common ailments that plague people in regard to their neck or their cervical
spine are herniated discs which can compress on a nerve and create arm pain
or numbness or weakness. Not uncommonly, as patients get older they may develop a
narrowing of the spinal canal that can compress on their spinal cord.
That can create some more concerning types of neurological problems.
The most common conditions that patients undergo surgery in their neck for are
disc herniations which compress on a nerve and cause arm pain.
Another condition which is very similar would be degenerative narrowing of the nerve
space, either an individual nerve or the spinal cord. The primary goal of these
surgeries is to relieve the pressure that is on the nerves or on the spinal cord.
The primary surgeries that we perform for neck
problems, particularly disk herniations or a narrowing of the nerve spaces, would
include opening up that space, or what we call a decompression, and the majority of
the time, that's followed by a fusion because we have to rebuild what we've
taken out. Many times, particularly in younger patients, we're able to do a
replacement disc which allows continued motion rather than performing a fusion.
In terms of post-operative recovery from neck surgery, people are up and walking
the day of surgery or the day after. Sometimes they may not even stay in the
hospital. Long-term recovery may depend on the exact procedure that's done.
If a patient doesn't have a heavy labor type of job, they could go back to work in a
week or two as soon as they feel comfortable doing so.
People with more physical jobs, we would want them out of work longer just for
complete healing.
