Cervical spine diseases are mainly divided into four categories: degenerative diseases, trauma, tumors and infections. Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a degenerative disease that often requires surgery. At present, according to different approaches, cervical spine surgery can be divided into anterior approach and posterior approach. Anterior surgery includes anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and anterior cervical corpectomy decompression and fusion (ACCF). Posterior surgery mainly includes laminoplasty, laminectomy, single or double door posterior cervical laminoplasty. In some cases, cervical spine fractures can lead to cervical dislocation. The commonly used surgical methods for the treatment of cervical fractures with dislocation are reduction and internal fixation, which mainly include anterior approach, posterior approach and combined approaches. Cervical spine tumors are rare in clinical practice, against which the main surgical methods are total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) and palliative surgery. Currently, due to the advantages and disadvantages embedded in different surgical methods, there is still considerable controversies over the choice of surgical methods among surgeons. We will collect clinical data related to cervical spine surgery, and compare and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of different operative methods from different perspectives, such as functional rehabilitation, biomechanics, complications, etc. This will provide the basis for spine surgeons to choose operative methods in clinical work and initiate more thinking and communication about related operative methods.
We aim to collect high quality research related cervical surgery for treatment of trauma, degenerative diseases, upper cervical dislocation, tumor, etc., and thus provide more evidence for selecting more cost-effective cervical spine surgical methods with less complications.
We welcome review, original article, meta-analysis to cover the following topics, but not limited to:
• Prospective studies about cervical spine surgery
• Retrospective studies about cervical spine surgery
• The finite element analysis
• Artificial intelligence
• Upper cervical dislocation
• Cervical tumor
• Cervical degeneration
• Anterior cervical spine surgery
• Cervical laminoplasty
