Cervical Spine Fusion involves surgically joining two or more vertebrae in the neck to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain. This procedure is often necessary for patients with severe spinal instability or advanced degenerative conditions. This procedure can be performed through a small incision, and patients can return home the same day.
Removes part of the vertebra, known as the lamina, which acts as the roof of the spinal cord. This helps decompress the nerves.
Removes abnormal disc material that may be pressing on the spinal cord or nerve roots.
Spinal instability can result due to prior spinal surgery, trauma, or advanced degenerative disc disease. In these clinical situations, spinal fusion is necessary to stabilize the spine, decompress any neurological structures such the spinal cord or nerves traveling to the arms/hands, and prevent any further injury to the cervical spine.
Cervical Disc Replacement involves replacing damaged or degenerated discs in the neck with artificial discs, restoring natural spinal movement and alleviating pain. This procedure is ideal for patients with herniated or degenerated discs causing chronic pain and limited mobility.
Decompression surgery, including laminectomy, involves removing part of the vertebral bone called the lamina to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This procedure is often used to treat spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or tumors.
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure where a damaged cervical disc is removed through an incision in the front of the neck. After disc removal, a bone graft or implant is placed to fuse the adjacent vertebrae, stabilizing the spine and alleviating symptoms such as pain and neurological impairment.
Extradural tumor resection is the surgical removal of tumors located outside the dura mater, typically affecting the vertebrae or epidural space. The goal is to relieve compression of the spinal cord or nerves, reduce pain, and maintain or restore spinal stability.
Dr. Macyszyn possesses a wide array of expertise in cervical spine fusion and has developed surgical techniques as well as implants to improve the success of this procedure. He provides patients with safe and effective treatment options for long-term pain relief with minimal downtime.
Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that permanently connects two or more vertebrae in the spine, eliminating motion between them. It is used to treat instability, severe degeneration, or deformities of the spine, providing pain relief and structural stability.
