Özet
Objective: In this study, the early term results of surgical treatment in cervical disc herniation with PEEK cage have been investigated. Method: 85 cases, who underwent interbody cage fusion with anterior approach were observed in our clinic between January 2001 and October 2005. The patients with anterior cervical mikrodiscectomy and cage fusion were followed up with check-ups performed at the first day, third month and/or sixth month after the operation. All the patients were subjected to neurological and radiological examinations before and after the operation. Results: The age of the cases ranged between 29 and 74 years (mean 45.2 years). In 29 cases, C5-6 was the most frequently involved level of cervical disc herniation. No PEEK cage migration occurred in any of the patients. No decrease in the disc height was observed and no postoperative cervical kyphosis was detected. Conclusion: The PEEK cage protected the intervertebral disc height in the early period. However, randomized, multicenter and long-term trials are needed to determine the clinical benefits. © Archives of Neuropsychiatry, published by Galenos Publishing. All rights reserved.
