Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the result of treating cervical disc herniation by surgical anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) at Bach Mai Hospital. Method: 32 patients diagnosed with cervical disc herniation were operated on by multilevel ACDF from 10/2019 to 5/2022 at Dept. of Orthopeadics Surgery & Spine, Bach Mai Hospital. Results: The average age is 60,56 ± 13,03, male/female ratio of 1,29/1. The mJOA score improved from 19.56 ± 12.72 to 15.94 ± 2.02 (p < 0.01) with RR of 74.11%. The VAS score at the time of post-operation and re-examination were 2.62 ± 1.29 and 1.09 ± 0.73 respectively, which were statistically significant with p < 0.01. Preoperative NDI decreased from 38.56 ± 21.09% to 19.56 ± 12.72% after 3 months (p < 0.01). There is a correlation between Cobb C2C7 angle with NDI and mJOA with r of - 0.36 and 0.41, respectively (p < 0.05). The average operative time was 119.7 ± 25.26 minutes. The amount of blood loss was 109.1 ± 28.44 ml. Conclusion: Multilevel anterior interbody fusion surgery in the treatment of cervical disc herniation has achieved good clinical outcomes and improved cervical spine lordosis on X-rays images.
