Abstract: Objective: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the potential of using hematological calculated indices to detect spontaneous regression in cervical disc herniation (CDH) during the initial visit to outpatient clinics. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study carried out at a single center reviewed laboratory parameters to assess their significance in the outcomes of CDH. The cohort consisted of patients with CDH who had undergone surgery, those who had undergone conservative treatment and achieved spontaneous regression, and a control group without CDH. The laboratory data consisted of calculated hematological indices such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SIII). Results: Differences in NLR, MLR, and SIII features were statistically significant across groups (p
