LACERDA GALLARDO, Ángel Jesús e BORROTO PACHECO, Rigoberto. Ambulatory surgery in herniated cervical disc. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 1999, vol.13, n.1-2, pp. 69-72. ISSN 1561-3100.
An observational descriptive study of 30 patients, l7 males (56.67%) and 13 females (43.33%), who were operated on of herniated cervical disc by ambulatory major surgery was carried out. l3 patients underwent cervical myelography (43.33%) and l2 CAT (40%). These diagnostic tests allowed the surgeons to make a decision. Local anesthesia with lidocaine 2% supported by sedation with benzodiazepines was the most used anesthetic method, since it was administered to 21 patients (70%). The results of the postoperative follow-up 6 months later were as follows: 18 (60%), excellent; 9 (30%), good; and 3 (10%), fair. No one was considered as poor.
