Anyone had multilevel cervical spine reconstruction surgery?

It’s 360 surgery on c4-c7, going in from the front to replace the discs, and from the back to inset a rod and screws. It’s more complicated, but that’s basically it.

If you saw my X-rays you’ll see I had a similar surgery at a different level C3-C6. The original surgery was a plate and screws through an anterior incision. It failed. The second surgery they removed the front plate, broke my cervical spine in 2 places, then installed a new plate in front, then flipped me over(a 360°) and stabilized the back with screws and rods.
Ask away…
