Abstract

The authors performed chemonucleolysis in 5 patients with cervical disc herniations who were treated at our institution between 1983 to 193. The age of the patients(4 were men and 1 women) ranged from 31 to 53, with the mean age of 44 years. All 5 patients presented with a less than 5-month history of progressive cervicobrachial pain. During a postoperative follow-up period, all patients had marked improvement from the cervico-brachial pain and there was no intraoperative or postoperative complications.
