Anterior cervical fixation is an excellent surgical technique for the removal of anterior compressive elements affecting the spinal cord and nerve roots while addressing cervical instability. However, it is important to recognize the unique challenges posed by the proximity of critical structures, including the trachea, esophagus, carotid sheath, and recurrent laryngeal nerve. Access to the upper cervical spine is often limited to the mandible.

In injured and diseased tissues, changes in molecular and cellular compositions, as well as tissue architecture, lead to alterations in both physiological and physical characteristics. Notably, the electrical properties of tissues, which can be characterized as bioelectrical impedance (bioimpedance), are closely linked to the health and pathological conditions of the tissues. This highlights the significant role of quantitatively characterizing these electrical properties in improving the accuracy and speed of diagnosis and prognosis.
