Cervical disc prosthesis is the newest technique for surgical treatment of cervical disc herniation disease. The advantages of this operation are preserving the movement of functional segment after the discectomy and preventing neighborhood segmental disease which commonly occurs after the fusion. Twenty patients were operated in the last one year and the results were evaluated with VAS, NDI scales. Satisfactory outcomes were obtained in one year followup period.
