Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy 多椎間罹患例の検討

抄録

50 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy with multiple disc levels of compression were treated by laminectomy or three-level anterior body fusion. Of those followed for more than one year, 28 patients were treated by laminectomy and 13 patients by three-level fusion.
4 patients with laminectomy and 2 patients with three-level fusion subsequently required anterior body fusions and laminectomies respectively due to further advances of the symptoms.
Satisfactory results were obtained in more than six seventh of all but re-operation cases.
