[Surgery by anterior approach in XXXX with a narrow canal].

@entity1 @entity3500 @entity7441 @entity3799
Twenty four @entity1 with @entity3500 due to @entity3799 were operated on by the anterior approach. They all received anterior cervical discectomy and/or osteophytes resection with the operating microscope, without fusion. There were no deaths and no one deteriorated after surgery. The results in the 21 @entity1 with a year or more of post-operative follow-up are described. Seven had a congenital narrow canal associated with discopathy, with a history of up to 9 years. In 6, the @entity3500 improved, in 2, dramatically. One @entity1 had no change. The other 14 @entity1 had a normal cervical canal. Eight had an excellent result, and only one did not improve. The @entity1 with a narrow canal were a little worse than those with a normal canal, but both groups are not quite comparable. More experience is needed, but the evidence suggest that the anterior approach give good results in @entity3799 with discopathy associated with narrow canal, without mortality or @entity7441 .
