ABSTRACT: This retrospective study evaluates the surgical outcomes of 53 patients treated for cervical spondylosis myelopathy (CSM) at the Department of Neurosurgery, Teaching Hospital of Conakry at University of Gamal Abdel Nasser in Guinea between January, 1st, 2019 and December 31st, 2025. The authors analyze clinical improvements using JOA scores, Nurick grades, and NDI scores, alongside surgical approaches and complications. The study concludes that surgical decompression significantly improves neurological function and prevents further decline in this patient population.
