Abstract

Various experiences with the ventral (4, 5, 10, 13–17, 21, 24, 30, 34), dorso-lateral (9), and dorsal approach (1, 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 22, 23, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35) in surgery of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (c.m.) have been reported. Therefore, we evaluated 75 patients operated upon from 19 69–1977. During this time, 90 patients underwent surgery. Eight patients could not be traced, and 4 were living abroad; they answered a questionnaire, reporting good results. For lack of clinical and radiological data these patients were not included. Three patients died in the meantime, from diseases unrelated to c.m.
