Choosing University Hospital for Cervical Corpectomy gives patients access to specialist-led cervical spine decompression, modern reconstruction technology, and coordinated postoperative rehabilitation. Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is located in Basel, Switzerland and operates 773 beds with advanced spinal surgery infrastructure.

Cervical Corpectomy may be considered for significant cervical spinal cord compression caused by disease or damage involving the vertebral body. The surgeon removes the affected vertebral body and adjacent discs through an incision at the front of the neck, allowing direct decompression of the spinal cord. The removed bone is replaced with a cage, graft, or reconstructive implant, while plates and screws may stabilize the treated levels. MRI and CT imaging are commonly used to assess the spinal anatomy and plan surgery.
