A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck pain: The procedure is a C4 cervical corpectomy and fusion. The operation is performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and provide stability to the spine. It is a common operation with excellent results. The stay in the hospital varies based on how much weakness or numbness that you have in the arms and legs. Inpatient rehabilitation or outpatient physical therapy may be needed after surgery.
