Neck Surgery
Neck surgery encompasses a variety of procedures aimed at addressing conditions affecting the cervical spine, neck structures, or surrounding tissues. It is performed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and correct structural abnormalities caused by issues like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or tumors.
The surgery can involve techniques such as discectomy, where a damaged disc is removed, or spinal fusion, which stabilizes the spine by fusing vertebrae together. Procedures may be conducted using open surgery or minimally invasive methods with smaller incisions. Recovery varies depending on the specific surgery but generally includes rehabilitation to regain strength and improve function, ultimately enhancing the patient’s quality of life.
