Modified anterior retropharyngeal approach for C2-C3 disc herniation

BACKGROUND: C2-C3 disc herniations are rare, but occur more frequent in the elderly population. As the classical anterior Cloward approach to these lesions is not optimal, we propose an alternative modified retropharyngeal approach to these disc herniations that were successfully utilized in two pat...

description BACKGROUND: C2-C3 disc herniations are rare, but occur more frequent in the elderly population. As the classical anterior Cloward approach to these lesions is not optimal, we propose an alternative modified retropharyngeal approach to these disc herniations that were successfully utilized in two patients. METHODS: Two patients with C2-C3 disc herniations underwent anterior cervical surgery utilizing the modified retropharyngeal approach. RESULTS: Surgery was successful is two cases with C2-C3 disc herniation and no patient sustained a perioperative complication. CONCLUSION: Our modified anterior retropharyngeal approach for C2-C3 disc herniations resulted in good outcomes without perioperative complications.
