The CNS Guidelines are evidence-based summaries of the scientific literature written by topic experts to provide neurosurgeons with the information they need to provide the best care to patients suffering from common neurosurgical conditions. In the Guidelines Sessions, authors discuss the key conclusions of recent Guidelines projects to promote the dissemination of this broadly applicable information around the field. In this session, Guidelines authors discuss their conclusions regarding the treatment and management of patients with cervical degenerative spine conditions.
