Summary

The purpose of this study is to establish which of five different maneuvers could bring the best trans-operatory x-ray exposure during anterior cervical surgeries with the higher security

Conditions

  • Cervical Disk Disease

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Intra-operative exposure maneuvers

* Feet compression maneuver: Taking feet from the ankles, gentle pressure will be applied toward the cranium and maintained for 1 minute. X-rays and IONM will be performed * Arm traction maneuver: Holding two strips around the wrists and using a dynamometer adjusted to 8 kg per side, sustained traction will be maintained for 1 minute. X-rays and IONM will be performed. * Shoulder taping maneuver: Both shoulders will be pulled caudally with adhesive tape adjusted for a tension of 8 kg on each side. X-rays and IONM will be performed * Arm traction plus feet compression maneuvers: Simultaneous combination of both maneuvers as described before. X-rays and IONM will be performed * Shoulder taping plus feet compression maneuvers: Simultaneous combination of both maneuvers as described before. X-rays and IONM will be performed
