Cervical spinal canal stenosis is one of the most common spinal problems, particularly among older adults. It causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the limbs and can lead to serious complications if not treated properly. Fortunately, microscopic cervical spinal canal decompression offers a precise and effective solution to restore mobility and relieve pain.
The spinal canal is a passageway that runs through the vertebral column and contains the spinal cord, which transmits nerve signals between the brain and the rest of the body. Cervical spinal canal stenosis occurs when this canal narrows in the neck region, putting pressure on the spinal cord and affecting its vital functions.
Several factors can lead to cervical spinal canal stenosis, including:
Symptoms of cervical spinal canal stenosis usually develop gradually and worsen over time, especially in cases involving spinal cord contusion. Common symptoms include:
Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning depend on a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s symptoms, a thorough physical examination, and detailed imaging studies such as MRI, CT scans, and X-rays.
A neurosurgeon specializing in spine surgery is the most qualified physician to assess and manage cervical spinal canal stenosis, ensuring proper diagnosis and the most effective treatment approach.
Cervical spinal canal stenosis cannot be effectively treated with limited interventions such as radiofrequency ablation, vaporization, suction, injections, or laser therapy. The only definitive solution is surgical decompression of the spinal canal and nerve roots using a microscope or endoscope.
Surgical decompression is required in the following cases:
Dr. Mohamed Nawar utilizes the most advanced technologies in cervical spinal decompression surgeries, including intraoperative imaging, neuro-monitoring systems, surgical navigation, and high-speed drilling systems — ensuring precision, safety, and optimal outcomes.
Patients can walk and move normally within two hours after the surgery. Most return to office work within two weeks and resume physical activities or sports after about two months.
