Introduction: The cervical disc hernia is uncommon. Its diagnosis is usually easy. But his surgery known controversy between discectomy with or without graft associated or not osteosynthesis. Accordingly we report our experiment of this surgery through a small serie of 9 patients operated by anterior approach.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study of nine (9) patients supported by an anterior cervical disk herniation between 2001 and 2006 at the General Hospital of Grand Yoff in Dakar. The diagnosis was made on clinical and cervical myéloscanner. The postoperative decline was between 1 and 5 years.
Results: The average age of patients was 43 years ranging from 20-68 years. A male prevalence (2/1) was noted. The majority of hernias was degenerative. It was mostly soft disc hernia that prevailed on floors C4-C5 and C5-C6. We always operated on the right side of the patient. We performed a discectomy of a floor in 8 cases and 2 floors in 1 case. The vertebral posterior longitudinal ligament was opened routinely. Graft with osteosynthesis was used in 4 cases. The outcome was good. A spontaneous fusion was noted in 7 cases.
Conclusion: The surgical treatment of cervical disc hernia is usually anterior approach. It is usually associated with good postoperative results.

Unlabelled: Due to the increasing number of people working at computers in professional settings, the incidence of lumbar disc herniation is increasing.
Background/objectives: The early diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation is much more likely to yield favorable results, allowing the hernia to be treated before it develops further. The aim of this study was to classify lumbar disc herniations in a computer-aided, fully automated manner using magnetic resonance images (MRIs).

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the influence of multifidus muscle fat infiltration on clinical outcomes in lumbar disc herniation (LDH) undergoing percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 224 patients who underwent lateral PELD, with complete one-year follow-up data. Patients were divided into two groups based on preoperative MRI evaluation of L4 multifidus muscle fat infiltration: a mild group (< 25%) and a severe group (≥ 25%).
