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.
Two patients with C2-C3 disc herniations underwent anterior cervical surgery utilizing the modified retropharyngeal approach.
Surgery was successful is two cases with C2-C3 disc herniation and no patient sustained a perioperative complication.
Our modified anterior retropharyngeal approach for C2-C3 disc herniations resulted in good outcomes without perioperative complications.
C2 - C3椎间盘突出症较为罕见,但在老年人群中更为常见。由于经典的前路Cloward手术方法对这些病变并非最佳选择,我们提出了一种改良的经咽后入路来处理这些椎间盘突出症,并已成功应用于两名患者。
两名患有C2 - C3椎间盘突出症的患者采用改良经咽后入路接受了颈椎前路手术。
两例C2 - C3椎间盘突出症患者手术均成功,且无患者出现围手术期并发症。
