[Surgical treatment of cervical intervertebral disk displacement].
Between 1977 and 1983, 51 patients underwent operative treatment of cervical disc herniation. The operation were made by ventral approach, with discectomy, resection of the posterior longitudinal ligament and of the bone osteophytes, as well as with spinal fusion with autologeous bone graft. In the group with radicular syndromes 82.6% had an excellent or good result, and 69.9% of these attained the working capacity. In cases with cervical myelopathy good results were stated in 34.6%, however by patients with intraoperative findings of sequester in spinal canal the results are better. 69.2% of the patients with cervical myelopathy obtained disablement pension. In all cases of cervical disc disease with radicular and/or medullary syndromes the callenge to early operative intervention are accentuated.
