good luck, thats true that the decision is not standard and traight forward, they should personalize and remodel a solution for you, OTHERWISE DO A SIMPLE LAMINECTOMY [[SIMPLE POSTERIOR APPROACH]]
Thanks for the reply. Guess I need to go see another surgeon. I've been going to really well respected people and I don't know who to believe anymore.
I am sorry in advance, because my opinion will not be for any of the 2 surgeons. what you need is a reopening over the C5-C6 disc space, removal of the implanted cage and a FORAMINOTOMY procedure, PLUS a posterior laminectomy without screws may be prefered to widden the canal a little bit. finally this hard case and hard decision necessitate an image of your neck otherwise a final opinion could not be subsigned by me
