摘要
CERVICAL CORPECTOMY AND strut grafting is a deceptively simple procedure that has been performed for many years for a variety of cervical spine disorders (infection, neoplastic disease and trauma) but most commonly for cervical spondylosis. The procedure requires attention to detail to ensure adequate decompression of the neural structures and avoiding injury to the soft tissues of the neck and vertebral artery in the transverse foramina. The following description of the technique is one we have successfully use for cervical corpectomy and strut grafting. We also discuss patient selection criteria, avoidance of common complications, and postoperative management.
