Does Hybrid Surgery Improve Quality of Life in Multilevel Cervical Degenerative Disk Disease? Five-Year Follow-up Study.
2020
Background: Patient satisfaction is becoming an increasing factor worthy of consideration when evaluating the surgical quality. The correlation between patient satisfaction and surgical outcomes 5 years after cervical hybrid surgery (HS), which incorporates anterior cervical decompression and fusion and cervical disk arthroplasty techniques in multilevel cervical degenerative disk disease, has not been evaluated. Methods: The aim of this study was firstly to analyze prospectively collected data from a sample of patients (n = 50) treated with cervical HS for selected cases of radiculopathy and myelopathy in order to evaluate pain levels of patients, using the Neck and Arm Pain scale as an ex…
Clinical and radiological features of hybrid surgery in multilevel cervical degenerative disc disease.
2015
Purpose: Although several studies have established the safety and efficacy of cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) as compared to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), few studies have investigated the role of hybrid surgery (HS) that incorporates ACDF and CDA techniques in multilevel cervical degenerative disc disease (MLCDDD). Methods: This prospective study enrolled patients with MLCDDD who underwent HS. Twenty consecutive patients who underwent HS were compared with patients who underwent ACDF and CDA at the same level of surgery. Patients were followed up for more than 2 years. Intraoperative parameters, clinical features and outcome scores were recorded. Radiological assessments…
