Posterior Cervical Decompression (2 Levels) in Wichita, KS

Posterior cervical decompression is a surgical procedure to decompress multiple segments of the cervical spine in patients with multi-level stenosis. The procedure involves the placement of screws in the lateral masses, connected by a rod to afford immediate stability to create a fusion. In a 2-level cervical artificial disc replacement, 2 adjacent problematic discs are removed and replaced with two artificial disc devices. This approach is often considered for large soft disc herniations that are lateral to (to the side of) the spinal cord.
