Characterization of patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy surgically treated by anterior discectomy
Introduction: cervical spondylotic myelopathy is a common disease, which accounts for a quarter of all upper-limb paresthesia. Anterior graft discectomy is one of the most widely used surgical techniques in the world to treat this disease. Objective: to characterize patients with cervical spondylot...

| description | Introduction: cervical spondylotic myelopathy is a common disease, which accounts for a quarter of all upper-limb paresthesia. Anterior graft discectomy is one of the most widely used surgical techniques in the world to treat this disease.
Objective: to characterize patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy who underwent surgery using the anterior discectomy with graft technique.
Methods: a retrospective, descriptive, longitudinal study was conducted in 35 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy who underwent surgery using the anterior graft discectomy technique at “Lucia Iñiguez Landín” Clinical Surgical Teaching Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019. The variables studied were: age, sex, race, personal pathological history, signs and symptoms (before the surgery), cervical level affected, sequelae and complications.
Results: male patients predominated (59,9 %), with ages between 45 and 60 years (45,71 %) and with personal pathological history of obesity (40 %). The prevailing clinical manifestations before surgery were hyperreflexia (65,71 %) and paresthesia (62,85 %). The most affected cervical segment was C5-C7 (91,42 %). The main complications were generalized hyperreflexia (17,14 %) and pain (8,57 %).
Conclusions: patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy surgically treated by the anterior discectomy with graft technique were mostly male, in ages after the fourth decade of life. Patients presented hyperreflexia before the surgery, and could develop generalized hyperreflexia as a complication. |
