Anterior Cervical Discectomy Fusion Surgery
The anterior approach in this particular surgery
means that the surgery is performed through the
front part of the neck, instead of going through
the back. Several advantages exist to using this
method. It allows better access to the surgical
site. Using an anterior approach provides access
to just about the entire cervical spine from the
top of the neck all the way down to the
cervico-thoracic junction. The junction is the
location where the upper spine joins with the
cervical spine.

Procedure Involved with ACDF Surgery
An anterior surgical approach where an incision
is made into the skin about one to two inches in
size on either the left of the right side. The
thin muscle underneath of the skin is split using
an incision and the plane between the muscles is
entered. The plane between the carotid sheath
and the esophagus is entered. The thin tissue
covering the spine is dissected from the disc
space. anterior-cervical-discectomy-fusion-Beaumon
t-TX-500x281A thin needle is then inserted into
the space and an x-ray confirms that the surgeon
is in the proper level of the spine. After
identifying the proper level, the parts of the
disc that are damaged are then removed by cutting
through the ring surrounding the disc and
removing its core. Most of the disc, but not
all of it, will be removed in this procedure.
Patients often return home that same day or maybe
the next day following the procedure.
