Cervical Spine

Cervical spine surgery is performed on the neck region of the spine. The most common cervical spine surgeries include anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), cervical disc replacement, and posterior cervical laminectomy. ACDF is a procedure that removes a herniated or degenerative disc in the neck and replaces it with a bone graft. Cervical disc replacement is a procedure that replaces a damaged or herniated disc with an artificial one. Posterior cervical laminectomy is a procedure that removes bone spurs or other growths from the spinal canal.
