Management of Cervical Myelopathy
ONLINE WEBINAR
10 October 2026
The upcoming AO webinar on Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy will focus on practical decision-making and surgical strategies for the management of patients with cervical myelopathy.
Designed for orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons with at least 3–5 years of experience in spine surgery, the webinar aims to provide clinically relevant insights into choosing the most appropriate surgical approach and managing complex cases effectively.
Improving Decision-Making in Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy
Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy remains one of the most common causes of spinal cord dysfunction in adults. However, selecting the optimal treatment strategy can become challenging, particularly when surgeons must choose between anterior, posterior, or combined approaches.
Therefore, this AO webinar will focus on the key factors that influence surgical decision-making. In addition, the faculty will discuss practical surgical tips that may help improve operative planning and patient management.
The main goal is to strengthen clinical judgment while highlighting important technical considerations in the surgical treatment of cervical myelopathy.
Anterior and Posterior Surgical Approaches
The scientific program will explore the surgical nuances of both anterior and posterior approaches to Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy.
Participants will review important considerations that may influence the choice of approach, including pathology, cervical alignment, the number of affected levels, and other clinical and radiological factors.
Moreover, experienced faculty members will share practical operative tips and discuss common challenges encountered during cervical spine surgery.
Interactive Case Discussion and Expert Insights
Alongside the educational presentations, the webinar will include a panel discussion led by experienced spine specialists.
This interactive format will allow participants to explore different clinical scenarios and understand how experienced surgeons approach complex decision-making in cervical myelopathy.
As a result, the session will provide not only theoretical knowledge but also practical perspectives that can be directly applied to everyday spine practice.
Who Should Attend?
The webinar is primarily intended for:
- Orthopedic spine surgeons
- Neurosurgeons
- Spine surgeons with approximately 3–5 years or more experience
- Specialists interested in improving decision-making in cervical myelopathy surgery
