About Video

Cervical spine should be in neutral position, but the head should be mildly flexed in a ‘military tuck’ postion as it widens the posterior atlanto- occipital interval. The dissection should be through the avascular midline raphae to prevent bleeding. Dissection on the posterior arch of C1 should not exceed more than 1.5 cm laterally on either side of the tubercle to prevent injury to the vertebral arteries.
