Abstract
The aim of this study was to improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with cervical hernias who underwent cervical fusion using improved cylindrical cages from the left anterior parapharyngeal access. The study included 12 patients with degenerative disease of cervical spine who were implanted 16 titanium cages after microdiscectomy. The assessment of the results was performed by neurologic examination, neurovisualization data, and visual analogue pain scale. Mean duration of surgery was 45–90 min, blood loss — 30–60 ml, length of hospital stay — 4–6 days. Substantial decrease of frequency and intensity of neck and arm pain was observed in 89 % of patients after surgery. When properly performed, anterior cervical interbody fusion applying cylindrical cage is a simple and effective method.
