Abstract EN
The surgical treatment of cervical spondylosis and resulting cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy has evolved over the past century.
Surgical options for dorsal decompression of the cervical spine includes the traditional laminectomy and laminoplasty, first described in Asia in the 1970's.
More recently the dorsal approch has been explored in terms of minimally invasive options including foraminotomies for nerve root descompression.
Ventral decompression and fusion techniques are also described in the article, including traditional anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, strut grafting and cervical disc arthroplasty.
Overall, the outcome from surgery is determined by choosing the correct surgery for the correct patient and pathology and this is what we hope to explain in this brief review.
