Abstract:
Objective To compare the clinical results of two different anterior cervical surgical treatment for multi-segmental cervical spondylotic myelopathy (≥3 segments).Methods Twenty-three patients with segmental cervical spondylotic myelopathy,10 cases were treated with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) as ACDF group,13 cases were treated with anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) as ACCF group.The operation time,operative blood loss,JOA scores,neurological improvement rate and the variable of the D value were compared.Results The operation time and operative blood loss in ACDF group was significantly lower than that in ACCF group [(130.0 ±31.5) min vs.(150.0 ±42.5) min,(150.0 ± 120.8) ml vs.(310.0 ± 320.8) ml,P ＜ 0.05].The variable of the D value in ACDF group was significantly higher than that in ACCF group [(3.1 ± 1.4) mm vs.(2.3 ± 0.9) mm,P ＜ 0.05].There was no statistically significant difference in JOA scores,neurological improvement rate between ACDF group and ACCF group.Two cases of cerebrospinal fluid leakage in ACDF group,the oppression and drainage recovery after treatment.One case of 14 d after fistula complications in ACCF group,after patching were cured; 2 cases of titanium mesh shift,follow the fusion.Conclusions Both methods attain good clinical results.ACDF combined with ACCF treatment of multi-segmental cervical spondylotic myelopathy,with shorter operation time,relatively less blood loss,and better restoration of cervical sagittal alignment.
