Surgery is one of the therapeutic modalities in cases of cervical degenerative disc disease. Post-surgical clinical outcomes are needed to evaluate the results of the actions that have been taken. Methods: This study is an observational retrospective study to evaluate clinical and functional outcomes using Neck Disability Index & SF36 on cervical degenerative disc disease before and after surgery at Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya in 2013-2018.

There was a significant increase in the average SF36 score (p< 0.05) before surgery (50.75) compared to after surgery (88.16). Conclusions: There is an increase in clinical and functional outcomes in patients with cervical degenerative disc disease who undergo operative treatment.
