Abstract:
Objective To discuss the clinical significance of percutaneous cervical diskectomy (PCD) in the management of radicular type cervical spondylosis. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out on clinical records of 106 radicular type cervical spondylosis cases treated by PCD from July 1993 to June 2002. Results Follow-up observations for 6 months～8 years(mean 3.6 years) in 91 cases showed the outcomes were excellent in 36 cases, good in 40, and unchanged in 15, the rate of excellent-or-good results being 83.5%. Conclusions PCD has an excellent therapeutic effect for nerve-root symptoms resulted from cervical disc herniation, such as numbness and pain of the upper extremities or shoulders.
