摘要

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: Fusion following anterior cervical discectomy has been implicated in the acceleration of degenerative changes in the adjacent spinal segments. Discectomy followed by implantation of an artificial cervical disc maintains the functionality of the spinal unit, while still providing excellent symptomatic relief. We describe our preliminary experience with implantation of the Bryan Cervical Disc System in two cases of single-level cervical disc herniation. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: Two male patients presented with a left C6 radiculopathy, without evidence of myelopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a disc herniation at C5-6 in both cases. Pre-operative flexion and extension radiographs demonstrated preserved motion at the involved levels. INTERVENTION/TECHNIQUE: Following a standard anterior cervical decompression, precision drilling of the vertebral endplates was carried out using a drill attached to a bed-mounted, gravitationally-referenced retraction frame. An artificial cervical disc, composed of a polyurethane nucleus with titanium endplates, was fitted between the contoured endplates without fixation to the vertebral bodies. No complications were experienced during the insertion of the prosthesis, or in the postoperative course. Both patients experienced immediate postoperative resolution of their radicular pain and were discharged from hospital the following day. At nine months following surgery, both patients continue to have complete relief of radicular symptoms. Postoperative radiographs at six months following surgery confirm accurate placement of the prosthesis and preserved mobility of the functional spinal unit. CONCLUSION: Insertion of the Bryan artificial cervical disc prosthesis following anterior cervical discectomy is a relatively straightforward procedure, which appears to be safe and provides good clinical results, without requiring additional surgical time. Long-term follow-up is required to assess its safety, efficacy, and ability to prevent adjacent segment degeneration.
