“…26 Anterior cervical discectomy without fusion may result in a change in cervical alignment, which can also occur with arthroplasty. Patients who experience mild changes towards kyphosis or develop fusion, however, have not had poorer clinical results.…”

“…Lied et al (2010) found involvement of C5-6 level in 266 patients in a series of 390 cases which is 68%, followed by involvement of C6-7 level in 207 (53%) and 56 patients (14%) had involvement at C4-5 level [10] . Another large series of 379 patients diagnosed localization of discs at various levels 13 . Among the 379 patients, the C6-7 level was involved in 219 patients (57.7%), C5-6 involved in 161(42.2%).…”

Background: Cervical myelopathy is a common cause for neurosurgical outpatient department visit, and a substantial proportion of patient suffering from myelopathy due to cervical spondylosis has to go through surgical management, commonly anterior cervical decompression and fusion in the form of Cloward’s procedure, Smith Robinson procedure, PEEK and Titanium cage implant and fusion. A total of 23 cases were selected according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Method: This is a prospective study that was conducted in the Department of Neurosurgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. Patients with cervical myelopathy undergoing anterior cervical decompression and fusion, in the form of Cloward’s procedure, Smith Robinson procedure, or Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Poly Ether Ether Ketone (PEEK) and Titanium cage implants in a single level for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: This study found out that the Modified Nurick grading system is a useful tool to quantify the functional status of the patients suffering from cervical myelopathy and surgery in various forms of anterior cervical decompression and fusion has an impact on the functional status even at an early period of one month. 82.6% of the patients had functional improvement, whereas 13% remained the same. Only one out of the 23 patients deteriorated. Various methods of anterior cervical decompression and fusion or the levels of involvement did not have any statistically significant impact on improvement among the patients. Conclusion: Anterior cervical decompression and fusion is a time-proven treatment modality for the patients suffering from cervical myelopathy owed to external compression due to spondylotic changes and Ossified Posterior Longitudinal Ligament. The functional status of the patients that have been compromised due to the disease shows promising change even in the early period undergoing surgery. Bang. J Neurosurgery 2023; 13(1): 3-9

ZusammenfassungOperationsziel Beseitigung von radikul~iren Schmerzen und FunktionsstOrungen durch mikrochirurgische, ventrale Freilegung und Ausr~iumung einer zervikalen Diskushernie ohne gleichzeitige Fusion des Bewegungssegmentes. Indikationen Zervikale Diskushernie mit kompressiver Radikulopathie ohne oder mit nur geringer Spondylosis deformans. Kontraindikationen Diskushernie mit radikularer Wurzelkompression bei fortgeschrittener Spondylosis deformans. In solchen F~illen ist in der Regel eine gleichzeitige intervertebrale Fusion erforderlich. Operationstechnik Ausr~iumung der Bandscheibe von ventral" ohne Entfernung des Knorpelbelages der Wirbelk6rper. Keine Abtragung des Anulus fibrosus und des Ligamentum longitudinale posterius. Keine oder nut minimale Erweiterung des Einrisses im Anulus fibrosus und Ligamentum longitudinale. In der Regel keine Abtragung von Osteophyten. Ergebnisse 175 (81% des Patientenkollektivs) in den Jahren 1980 bis 1994 operierte Patienten konnten nach einem durchschnittlichen Kontrollzeitraum von 71 Monaten nachuntersucht werden. 168 Patienten waren insgesamt mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden. Das klinische Ergebnis korreliert weder mit einer inzwischen eingetretenen knOchernen Verblockung zwischen den zwei Wirbelk6rpern des operierten Segmentes noch mit einer postoperativen, r6ntge-nologisch nachgewiesenen Fehlhaltung.
