I have 3 herniated disks and stenosis, as well as a golf-ball sized bone spur close to the spinal canal, that is why I am interested in learning about cervical damage. My doc has recommended a corepectomy. I would like some additional info on this procedure? Is anyone here with experience?

Hey!
Corepectomy is less invasive procedure, but it is certaly not an easy one… it is a removal of the vertebrae. The surgery takes place about 4 hours, I guess I do not have to mention you are under general anesthesia… I am still in pain, and that was 5 months ago. Consult your doctor, he/ she should know more, especially since doc is the one who is recommending corepectomy.
