    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Spinal Disorders

    Background:

    • Cervical and lumbar spondylosis with disc disease presents complex challenges.
    • Multifocal spinal lesions require careful diagnostic evaluation.
    • Surgical intervention is a potential treatment option for severe cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical treatment for patients with combined cervical and lumbar spondylosis and disc disease.
    • To assess outcomes following decompression of affected spinal regions.

    Main Methods:

    • Study included 24 patients with features of both cervical and lumbar spondylosis and disc disease.
    • Myelography was utilized for confirming multifocal spinal lesions.
    • Surgical decompression was performed on the predominantly involved spinal canal regions.

    Main Results:

    • Beneficial results were achieved in 20 out of 24 patients after decompression of the primary affected spinal region.
    • Four patients required a two-stage surgical approach (lumbar and cervical laminectomy) for improvement, with a 3-6 month interval between procedures.
    • The overall morbidity associated with the surgical interventions was insignificant.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical decompression is an effective treatment for most patients with combined cervical and lumbar spondylosis and disc disease.
    • A staged surgical approach may be necessary for select patients with extensive spinal involvement.
    • The surgical management of these complex spinal conditions demonstrated a favorable safety profile.
