Default cervical fusion after SCS implant possible?

Well, I'm back. Unfortunately because I'm having problems

Having a lot of neck issues (had cervical SCS put in on a couple of years ago which helped for a while) but now it's possible I may have to have a revision on one or both of my cervical fusions that I had done years prior to the cervical SCS being put in.

Can one go in and have a fusion re-done if they have cervical leads in the spinal column for the cervical SCS? Would it require removing the cervical leads, doing the revision of the fusion(s) and then reimplanting the cervical leads? Or could one re-do the fusions by working around the SCS leads?

Would a neurosurgeon be the best for all this?

Thanks for your help!
