Abstract

The aim of this paper is to assess the results of surgical treatment in spondylosis and cervical disc protrusion, and to indicate some operative parameters which have an influence on the outcome. Particular attention is devoted to the operative techniques used — that is the posterior laminectomy and the anterior approach according to CLOWARD — and to the indication for their choice.
