Status Post (S/P):

"After." Designated someone who has had a significant procedure or event happen.

"The patient is S/P hysterectomy."
Status post indicates that the phrase that follows is something that happened to the patient before. For instance, a patient who had heart surgery may be s/p CABG (status post bypass surgery).

A comma would not typically be used. This is not a typical sentence though. It appears to be medical notes, perhaps from a chart or patient file.One possible punctuation is below:"She continues to experience neck pain. Status: post anterior cervical decompression and fusion."
