Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2016, Vol 27, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: The aim of the study is to analyse the cervical discectomy operations in two years. Materials and Method: We inspected 175 patients who were operated for cervical disc herniation between June 2014 and June 2016 at Dr.Lütfi Kırdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital Neurosurgery Clinic. The parameters that evaluated are the level of discopathy, side of the disc herniation and type of surgery. Results: This study included a total of 175 patients, of whom 100 were female (57.1 %) and 75 were male (42.9 %). Mean age was 45.1 ± 9.6 years for males, and 43.3 ± 9.9 for females. There was no statistically significant difference between males and females (p=0.111). The most frequent levels of disorder was at C5-6 (n=68; 38,9 %), and C6-7 (n=53; 30.3 %). More than half of the patients had lesions on left side (n=92; 52.6 %). Most frequent type of operation was total disc replacement (TDR) application (n=127; 72.6 %). Comparisons between males and females regarding level (p=0.311) and side (p=0.463) of lesions, and operation type (p=0.466) showed that both genders were similar for these clinical parameters. Conclusions: ACDF and TDR showed similar results in terms of efficacy and safety, and these procedures with expectation of better results together with the development of surgical techniques and instruments.
