Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of anterior versus posterior surgical approaches for treating multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
- Eight clinical trials involving 1,151 patients were analyzed, revealing significant advantages for the posterior approach in terms of lower complications, but no notable differences in neural recovery, operation time, or intraoperative bleeding when compared to the anterior approach.
- In conclusion, while both approaches are similar in key outcomes, the posterior approach is associated with fewer complications, making it a potentially safer option for patients.
