Cervical Corpectomy Surgery
A Cervical Corpectomy is an surgical incision (cut) into the cavity of the abdomen. This surgery is done to examine the abdominal organs and treat any conditions, including abdominal pain, for support. In certain cases the problem can be solved during Cervical Corpectomy – once it has been recognized. In other situations it needs a second operation. Cervical Corpectomy is another name for abdominal exploration.
A common reason for a Cervical Corpectomy is to resolve abdominal pain but a wide variety of indications can involve the procedure. The abdominal organs include the digestive tract (such as heart, liver, and intestines) and the excretion organs (such as the kidneys and bladder). Your surgeon may need to operate to assess the exact cause of the complaint. For example, they may need to pinpoint the cause of internal bleeding in the digestive tract or find out where your bowel may be perforated (burst), before treatment can commence.
