Currently, Dr. Constantine Toumbis applies his skills as a private practice physician at the Citrus Spine Institute in Florida, where he provides medical services that include anterior cervical decompression and fusion.
A form of neck surgery, anterior cervical decompression and fusion is also known as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. The procedure is done to correct instability or pain in the neck, or in response to conditions such as a cervical herniated disc or degenerative disc disease. The procedure utilizes an anterior approach (from the front) and takes place in two stages, beginning with an anterior cervical discectomy. In this first stage, an incision is made in the front of the neck to remove the damaged disc from the vertebrae. Once this is complete, the fusion takes place. Fusion surgery stabilizes and strengthens the area by inserting implants or a bone graft into the neck. The implant or bone graft takes the place of the removed disc.
