ENDOSCOPIC CERVICAL MICRODISCECTOMY: NEAR AND REMOTE RESULTS OF TREATMENT OF DISCOGENIC NEUROCOMPRESSIVE SYNDROMES

Analysis of the treatment outcomes by the method of endoscopic microdiscectomy of 92 patients suffering from discogenic compressive (radiculopathy, myelopathy, radiculomyelopathy) and reflector syndromes of the cervical part of the spinal cord has been conducted. Steady positive results have been obtained in 94.8% patients with symptoms of the root failure in 80.0% patients with myelopathy and in all the patients with myeloradiculopathy. An average mark of pain sensations with various allergic reflector syndromes decreased from 2.06–2.05 till 0–0.33. The full regress of neurologic signs of reflector angiospastic syndrome of the spinal artery was noticed in 52.6% cases.
