Endoscopy-assisted anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with internal fixation vs conventional surgery in the treatment of cervical disc herniation.

Introduction: Cervical disc herniation (CDH) is a common condition, usually caused by excessive strain or trauma to the spine. Initially, it is treated conservatively; however, complex and resistant cases may require a surgical intervention.

Aim: We aimed to compare the clinical effect of endoscopy-assisted anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with internal fixation and conventional surgery in the treatment of CDH.
