1
I have a lot of patients who come and see me with neck pain that is radiating down the arm.
2
This condition is called cervical radiculopathy.
3
It is usually because of a pinched nerve in the neck, either due to a bone spur or a herniated disc.
4
There's an excellent surgery for this condition.
5
This is called anterior cervical discectomy infusion.
6
Basically, through this surgery, we unpinch the nerve by removing a disc in the neck, and we stabilize that level by fusing it.
7
And today, I'm going to show you how this surgery is done step by step.
8
I'm making this video for my patients who want to know more about the surgery, see how it's done.
9
So I'll take you through it step by step.
10
And also for patients out there who are dealing with a similar problem
11
and are debating whether or not they should have the surgery.
12
So today I'm going to show you the case of a patient who had a pinched nerve between the C6
13
and the C7 vertebrae in the neck, pinching the C7 nerve.
14
The C7 nerve comes out of the neck
15
and goes all the way down into the forearm and the hand and can cause some severe pain, numbness, and tingling.
16
So without further ado, let's get started.
17
The first step is to place the patient on the operating room table after they've been intubated and they've received anesthesia.
18
And we check an x-ray from the side
19
and we put a marker on the skin and make sure that we know where the C7 vertebrae is.
20
So we mark the skin. And similarly, we put another probe on the skin to mark where the
21
c6 level is after we figure out where the c6
22
and the c7 vertebra are we make a small incision between
23
those two points we get down deeper on the spine
24
and very carefully we take a tiny needle
25
and we put it into the c7 vertebra
26
and check another rectifier from the side now it's very important to make sure
27
that you are the correct vertebral level
28
because of course you don't want to remove the wrong level
29
disc now after you've confirmed your level you focus all of your attention at the c6
30
and c7 level so the next step is to create some space between the c6
31
and the c7 bones and how do you do
32
that well the first step is to take a small threaded pin
33
and put it into the c7 vertebra similarly you take a second pin
34
and you insert it into the c6 vertebra next you slide a distractor over these pins
35
and apply a very minimal distraction maybe one
36
or two millimeters to gently open up this disk space this allows you more space to work
37
and this also allows you to open up the nerve so it is no longer pinched
38
next using a series of different instruments we remove the degenerated disk between c6
39
and c7 and and we remove it all the way to the back of the vertebral body.
40
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.
41
After you have removed the disc, we use special instruments to unpinch the nerve and remove the bone spurs that are pinching the nerve.
42
So at this point, the C7 nerve has been freed up on both sides.
43
Now you're left with an empty space where the disc used to be.
44
So the question is, what do you do about it?
45
Well, you have to put a spacer over here, otherwise the two levels are going to collapse.
46
And you have to put a spacer of the correct size.
47
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.
48
When you finally find the correct fit, that is the size of the spacer that you need to put in there.
49
So in the case of this patient, we used a 6mm spacer
50
that gave us a very good snug fit both by tactile feel
51
and by looking at it from the side by the x-ray
52
so next we remove the trial
53
and we select a piece of bone a cadaver bone graft called the allograft
54
and just gently tamp it into place until
55
that bone is in the center of the disc space
56
and at this point you check another x-ray make sure everything
57
looks good you remove the distraction pins the threaded pins
58
that you put in earlier
59
and the next step is to put a plate in the front so that you can stabilize this whole construct.
60
It's very important to select a plate that's neither too long nor too short.
61
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.
62
You check an x-ray, make sure it's of the correct length.
63
Next, we take a drill and drill into the C7 bone.
64
Take a small screw and put it through the plate and secure the plate against C7.
65
We put a second screw into the C7 vertebra.
66
And similarly, we put two more screws into the C6.
67
At this point, you fight and tighten all the screws.
68
Make sure that the whole construct is nice and tight.
69
You look around to make sure that there's no bleeding.
70
And after checking everything to make sure it's okay, you close up the incision.
71
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.
72
They're wearing a soft collar
73
and recovery in general for patients who have an anterior cervical discectomy infusion surgery is very rapid and very successful.
74
So I hope you enjoyed watching this video.

✨ 推荐视频
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,並用錄音設備記錄;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台,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。
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的 | is called · is done · they've been intubated |
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | they've been intubated · you've confirmed · have removed |
什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
