Abstract

Anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion provide satisfactory results in most instances of cervical disk herniation and cervical spondylosis. A variety of interpositioned grafts have been described for such problems at one or two levels. Multiple level anterior decompression and fusion for patients with spondylotic myelopathy produce satisfactory results in most instances and are particularly effective when a degenerative kyphosis is present. Appropriate patient selection and attention to technical aspects of exposure, neural decompression, and graft procurement and placement directly influence the surgical outcome.
