Abstract:
:Soft cervical disc herniations can be treated by minimally invasive procedures with excellent results. Chemonucleolysis with chymopapain is one alternative to surgery that is shown to be innocuous within a strict technical framework. MR imaging allows an accurate diagnosis of the cause of cervical root compression, thus facilitating the choice of conventional surgery or minimally invasive procedures.
