I have a lot of patients who come and see me with neck pain that is radiating down the arm.

This condition is called cervical radiculopathy.

It is usually because of a pinched nerve in the neck, either due to a bone spur or a herniated disc.

There's an excellent surgery for this condition.

This is called anterior cervical discectomy infusion.

Basically, through this surgery, we unpinch the nerve by removing a disc in the neck, and we stabilize that level by fusing it.

And today, I'm going to show you how this surgery is done step by step.

I'm making this video for my patients who want to know more about the surgery, see how it's done.

So I'll take you through it step by step.

And also for patients out there who are dealing with a similar problem

and are debating whether or not they should have the surgery.

So today I'm going to show you the case of a patient who had a pinched nerve between the C6

and the C7 vertebrae in the neck, pinching the C7 nerve.

The C7 nerve comes out of the neck

and goes all the way down into the forearm and the hand and can cause some severe pain, numbness, and tingling.

So without further ado, let's get started.

The first step is to place the patient on the operating room table after they've been intubated and they've received anesthesia.

And we check an x-ray from the side

and we put a marker on the skin and make sure that we know where the C7 vertebrae is.

So we mark the skin. And similarly, we put another probe on the skin to mark where the

c6 level is after we figure out where the c6

and the c7 vertebra are we make a small incision between

those two points we get down deeper on the spine

and very carefully we take a tiny needle

and we put it into the c7 vertebra

and check another rectifier from the side now it's very important to make sure

that you are the correct vertebral level

because of course you don't want to remove the wrong level

disc now after you've confirmed your level you focus all of your attention at the c6

and c7 level so the next step is to create some space between the c6

and the c7 bones and how do you do

that well the first step is to take a small threaded pin

and put it into the c7 vertebra similarly you take a second pin

and you insert it into the c6 vertebra next you slide a distractor over these pins

and apply a very minimal distraction maybe one

or two millimeters to gently open up this disk space this allows you more space to work

and this also allows you to open up the nerve so it is no longer pinched

next using a series of different instruments we remove the degenerated disk between c6

and c7 and and we remove it all the way to the back of the vertebral body.

It's very important to remove all the discs because the nerve lives all the way in the back, right over here at this point.

After you have removed the disc, we use special instruments to unpinch the nerve and remove the bone spurs that are pinching the nerve.

So at this point, the C7 nerve has been freed up on both sides.

Now you're left with an empty space where the disc used to be.

So the question is, what do you do about it?

Well, you have to put a spacer over here, otherwise the two levels are going to collapse.

And you have to put a spacer of the correct size.

So the way we do that is we have a series of spacers, trial spacers, that we put in sequentially, and we see how snug the fit is.

When you finally find the correct fit, that is the size of the spacer that you need to put in there.

So in the case of this patient, we used a 6mm spacer

that gave us a very good snug fit both by tactile feel

and by looking at it from the side by the x-ray

so next we remove the trial

and we select a piece of bone a cadaver bone graft called the allograft

and just gently tamp it into place until

that bone is in the center of the disc space

and at this point you check another x-ray make sure everything

looks good you remove the distraction pins the threaded pins

that you put in earlier

and the next step is to put a plate in the front so that you can stabilize this whole construct.

It's very important to select a plate that's neither too long nor too short.

So you take the plate that you think is going to work, put it in the front of the neck, and put it on top of the vertebrae, and secure it temporarily with a temporary fixation pin.

You check an x-ray, make sure it's of the correct length.

Next, we take a drill and drill into the C7 bone.

Take a small screw and put it through the plate and secure the plate against C7.

We put a second screw into the C7 vertebra.

And similarly, we put two more screws into the C6.

At this point, you fight and tighten all the screws.

Make sure that the whole construct is nice and tight.

You look around to make sure that there's no bleeding.

And after checking everything to make sure it's okay, you close up the incision.

After waking the patient up and reversing anesthesia, the patient will be probably in the hospital either overnight or discharge home the same day, depending on how they're doing.

They're wearing a soft collar

and recovery in general for patients who have an anterior cervical discectomy infusion surgery is very rapid and very successful.

這段影片為何適合練習口語？

這支關於「頸前路椎間盤切除融合術」的影片，是練習醫學英語口語的絕佳素材。內容邏輯清晰，用詞精準，從病情解釋到手術步驟逐一說明，語速平穩且語調自然，非常適合「shadowing」（影子跟讀）練習。影片中的專業術語如「cervical radiculopathy」（頸椎神經根病變）、「herniated disc」（椎間盤突出）等，能幫助學習者積累領域詞彙，同時其口語化的表達方式（如「I have a lot of patients who come and see me...」）也利於提升日常溝通能力。

拆解自然表達，學習地道用法

「This condition is called cervical radiculopathy.」 簡單直接的定義表達，「is called」是解釋術語時的常用結構，符合英語口語中清晰傳遞資訊的習慣。
「Basically, through this surgery, we unpinch the nerve by removing a disc in the neck...」 「basically」用於簡化複雜概念，「by removing」明確動作方式，口語中常用此結構說明操作流程，自然不生硬。
「It's very important to remove all the discs because the nerve lives all the way in the back...」 「it's very important to... because...」是典型的勸說或解釋句型，「lives」在此處生動形象地描述神經的位置，使表達更貼近口語。

影子跟讀練習步驟，高效提升口語

利用「shadowing」技巧練習時，可遵循以下流程：首先完整觀看影片，熟悉內容與語速；接著逐句播放，每句結束後立即跟讀，模仿語調、重音和節奏，並用錄音裝置記錄；然後對比自己的錄音與原音，糾正發音和語速的差異；最後脫稿複述關鍵步驟，強化記憶。若想找到合適的「shadowing site」，可搜尋專注於醫學英語的學習平臺，搭配影片進行針對性練習。堅持每天15分鐘，既能提升英語口語流利度，又能積累專業知識，可謂一舉兩得。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	they've been intubated · you've confirmed · have removed
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	is called · they've been intubated · has been freed

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
