• Introduction
• The spinal column can be approached from the
  front of the body. Although this involves working
  around important structures, the reconstructive
  options are greater. The posterior approach
  involves stripping muscles off their bony
  attachments. This allows access to the spine, is
  safe and is commonly in use. However, it can
  cause postoperative pain, muscle spasm and
  recovery time is linked closely to the healing of
  muscles.

• Anterior spinal surgery

• Anterior approaches heal quicker in comparison.
  Surgical experience and training in this type of
  approach makes it safe, and effective. Often, it
  is the primary approach for removing diseased
  bone when infected, replaced with a tumour or
  damaged by a fracture.
• The gap created can be replaced by bone or an
  inter-body cage. Based on the gap this frequently
  requires additional stabilization with implants
  to create an increased stability to be able to
  bear the loads and not need any external support.

• Treatment Options for Anterior spinal 

In some more complex cases anterior approach is
an adjunct to posterior fixation and the combined
approaches allow for more robust spinal
reconstructions for tumour, fractures, infection
or spinal deformities. There is an inherent risk
of collateral damage to the visceral organs when
accessing the spine. This requires a detailed
discussion with the surgeon prior to the
operation. Heres our consultant Spinal Surgeon,
Mr. Jwalant S Mehta discussing the surgical
