Recovery was excellent in 65.2% of patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy compared to 44.8% in the fusion group.
Postoperative pain scores, measured by VAS, showed no significant difference between the two surgical methods after three months.

This research highlights the effectiveness of both surgical approaches in treating cervical degenerative diseases.
