At netcare Linksfield Hospital, Cervical Corpectomy is performed using advanced cervical decompression and reconstruction techniques tailored to the patient's spinal condition. Established in 1991, the COHSASA accredited hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa has 319 beds and provides comprehensive neurosurgical and orthopedic spine care.

Cervical Corpectomy may be recommended when spinal cord or nerve compression extends behind a vertebral body and cannot be adequately treated by disc removal alone. During the procedure, the affected vertebral body and nearby disc material are removed to create space around the compressed neural structures. The resulting gap is reconstructed with a structural implant or bone graft, and fixation with plates and screws may be used to maintain cervical alignment and stability.
