Postoperative examinations showed: VAS 2.15 ± 1.34 and NPSI 2.29 ± 0.71.Postoperative MRI performed 3 months after the procedure showed a good improvement of cervical disc herniation or bulging or protrusion. The mean dose area product (DAP) was 2803 mGy/cm2 with a mean fluoroscopy time of 4 minutes 22 seconds.Conclusion DiscoGel is a suitable approach for non-fissurated cervical disc herniations, especially in patients that are not suitable for open surgery, with excellent postoperative results, fast recovery and a low radiation dose.
