Lateral Approach to the Cervical Spine (Hodgson), C1–C3 approach, and with the more distal partial detachment of sternocleidomastoid muscle from the clavicle, as in the Nanson supraclavicular approach, allows good exposure from C1 to T2. The standard midcervical approach to the lateral spine C3–C7 as described by Hodgson is lateral to the sternocl

Supraclavicular Approach,; a small roll under the shoulder often helps to extend the neck. Location of the thoracic duct and recurrent laryngeal nerve becomes even more important at this level.

The thoracic duct must be avoided with the left anteromedial approach. The recurrent laryngeal nerve should be identified with the right-side approac

The junction of the cervical and thoracic spine not only represents the apex of two physiologic curvatures but is also crowded by important neurovascular structures, the trachea and the esophagus at the narrowed thoracic outlet.

The rib to resect for a certain vertebral level is chosen by one of two methods:.When the pathology dictates a direct anterior approach to the vertebral column, that is, kyphotic TB abscess, choose the rib directly horizontal to the vertebral level at the midaxil
