Long Term Follow Up

BACKGROUND: Cervical herniation is commonly treated by anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) if conservative management has failed in relief of the patient's symptoms. Disc fusion is needed after ACDF as anterior longitudinal ligament will be absent after doing the operation, especially if multiple levels are needed. The occurrence of complications as cage subsidence and adjacent segment failure related to the length of follow up as they are increasing in percentage is directly proportional to the length of follow up. AIM: Analysis of the results for patients who underwent 3 levels of ACDF with cage fusion for short term and long term follow up in multiple centres as the visual analogue score for neck pain & brachialgia. METHODS: This retrospective cohort series of 68 patients selected out of 136 patients suffering from 3 levels of degenerative cervical disc disease who were unresponsive to adequate conservative therapy. All cases were treated at one of the neurosurgery departments of 3 different hospitals (Naser institute for research and treatment hospital, Haram hospital for research and treatment and Misr university for science and technology) by the same surgical team in the period from February 2012 to February 2017. RESULTS: We found in this study;68 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria, of the 29 patients underwent 3 levels of ACDF starting from C3-4 (42.65%) and 39 patients who underwent 3 levels of ACDF starting from C4-5 (57.35%). Clinical assessment for VAS pain score for both neck pain and radiculopathy were done before the surgery and immediately post-operative and during each time follow up visit and we found statistically significant immediate postoperative improvement. (P ˂ 0.05) CONCLUSION: Stand-alone three levels of an anterior cervical discectomy with cage fusion technique improved the clinical outcomes on long term follow up.

The Prestige

Object The long-term function of an artificial cervical disc device is critical to its clinical success. The Prestige I Cervical Disc System has been used clinically since June 1998, and long-term results can now begin to be assessed. The authors conducted clinical and radiographic examinations at 3 and 4 years postoperatively to evaluate the long-term performance of the Prestige I device. Methods A pilot trial was initiated in which the Prestige I disc was implanted in a cohort of patients with end-stage disease, who often had a history of multiple previous fusion procedures. All patients were followed according to a standardized clinical and radiographic protocol until 2 years postoperatively. Outcome measures included the Short Form–36 (SF-36) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) questionnaires, neurological status, and radiographic status. To evaluate the long-term function of the device, Ethics Committee approval was obtained to assess the patients at 3 and 4 years postoperatively. All patients were contacted, and after signing an additional informed consent document, were reevaluated according to the standardized protocol. Of the 17 patients in the original cohort, 13 were evaluated at 3 years and 14 were evaluated at 4 years postoperatively. Clinical outcome measures including the NDI and SF-36 showed good improvement, especially when the end-stage nature of the disease is considered. Radiographic analysis showed that the Prestige I disc maintained motion at the treated segment at 3 and 4 years postoperatively. Conclusions In this report the authors demonstrate the clinical viability of the Prestige I cervical disc system at long-term postoperative intervals, even in the more severe biomechanical environment of end-stage disease.

✓ The authors present the long-term follow-up results in three cases in which pure lateral disc herniations were surgically treated via an anterior foraminotomy (uncinatectomy) that avoided entering the disc space. The pertinent anatomical details essential for a safe approach are discussed in light of nine cadaveric neck dissections of every segment between C-1 and C-7. The surgical technique was initially studied in the cadaveric specimens and then applied in patients. The long-term results (> 2 years) in the first three patients are as good as our short-term results in another eight cases.
