Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the clinical outcomes of various methods of surgical treatment of cervical disc herniation and to identify prognostic factors.
Material and methods. A retrospective study of 42 patients who underwent ACDF, laminectomy or microdiscectomy was conducted. The results were assessed using the JOA, VAS and NDI scales at three stages of observation.
Results. All three methods demonstrated positive dynamics, but the ACDF method was statistically more effective.
Conclusion. ACDF is the preferred method of surgical treatment of herniated discs of the cervical spine.
