  • Title: Role of corpectomy in cervical spondylosis.
    Author: Kalfas IH.
    Journal: Neurosurg Focus; 2002 Jan 15; 12(1):E11. PubMed ID: 16212324.
    Abstract:
    The management of cervical spondylosis has evolved over the past several decades. Surgical decompressive and stabilization techniques have become more widely accepted for use in patients with intractable pain or neurological deficits. Advances in neuroimaging, surgical technique, and surgery-related technology including the operating microscope and anterior fixation devices have all contributed to the expanding role of surgery for the treatment of this condition. In this paper the author will focus on the role of corpectomy as a surgical option for managing cervical spondylosis.
