The anterior approach to surgical treatment of disorders of the cervical spine is described, and the technique and advantages are outlined. A series of 66 patients who underwent 75 procedures is reported. The follow-up period ranged from one to five years. Good to excellent results were obtained with 91% of the operations for disc disease, and good results in all cases of fracture-dislocation. Adequate relief of pain was obtained with anterolateral cordotomy in two patients with malignant disease. Only minor complications were encountered; these were easily corrected or cleared up spontaneously. This approach is recommended in preference to the posterior approach for disc disease and fracture-dislocations of the cervical spine.
描述了颈椎疾病手术治疗的前路方法，并概述了该技术及其优点。报告了一组66例患者接受了75次手术。随访期为1至5年。椎间盘疾病手术的91%取得了良好至优秀的结果，骨折脱位的所有病例均取得了良好的结果。两名恶性疾病患者通过前外侧脊髓切开术获得了充分的疼痛缓解。仅出现了轻微并发症；这些并发症很容易纠正或自行消除。对于颈椎间盘疾病和骨折脱位，推荐采用这种方法而非后路方法。
