monster you control post-operative x-ray of a patient who I worked last week to calcified herniated disc C5-C6. cervical disc herniations in the vast majority of cases (almost all) is working to anterior. The surgical access
I used is from the left anterolateral through a transverse incision. Access from the left reduces the risk of injury against the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the transverse skin incision is to be aesthetically advantageous. Arriving at the spinal level
in my opinion is very important to use the microscope that allows for optimum illumination of the field combined with the magnification of the anatomical structures. Removed the intervertebral disc and removed the calcified hernia compressing the spinal cord is necessary to proceed with the reconstruction of the disc space which in this case was made with arthrodesis using PEEK cage. It was not possible to use a prosthetic disc as the presence of calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and posterior facet joint osteoarthritis are a contraindication to arthroplasty.
