According to the literature, the successful results of surgical treatment of patients operated on for compression of the spinal cord and cervical spine roots vary within a fairly wide range - from 55% to 96%. It seemed important to us in the early stages after surgical treatment to assess in the age aspect its effectiveness, the dynamics of clinical symptoms and general physical condition of patients, their satisfaction with the results of the operation. We analyzed the results of surgical treatment of 44 patients suffering from a herniated disc of the cervical spine. Patients underwent surgical treatment, including discectomy (7), laminectomy (2), corporectomy and anterior corporodesis (1), discectomy and autoplasty (7), discectomy and cage placement (27). The performed surgical treatment led to the achievement of stabilization of the spine and regression of the neurological status, including the absence of pain, an increase in the volume and strength of active movements in the limbs, restoration of the functions of the pelvic organs, and improvement of sensitivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
