Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion

Let’s discuss the Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion (ACCF), an important surgical procedure that allows for the removal of ventral pathology or anterior pathology, such as disk herniations, bone spurs, and tumors.
We'll explain the decompression it allows, the different types of interbody spacers/grafts used, and how it's fused together. The ACCF is generally reserved for situations where a diskectomy alone is not enough and for the removal of a vertebral body, such as in cases of tumors, traumatic, degenerative or infectious pathologies.
Learn more about this powerful technique in the full chapter on Anterior Cervical Spine Approaches.

Hi Dr Prasad, my father underwent the procedure recently however, it led to dysphagia which caused aspiration and lung infection. Do you see dysphagia as common issue post this procedure? How has your experience been treating it? Thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Hello are you concerned about vocal cord paralysis with an AC DF and how common is that please? Thank you kindly

[@prasadspineacademy]

We are always concerned about it but permanent vocal cord paralysis is not that common for routine, primary ACDFs in my experience. Good luck, -SP

What is recovery time and post surgery precautions .

[@prasadspineacademy]

You should speak with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own protocol for the post-op period. I usually tell patients that recovery is 8-12 weeks. Hope that helps, SP
