Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure to relieve spinal cord or nerve root pressure in the neck by removing a damaged disc. It's commonly used to treat herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and cervical radiculopathy. During ACDF, the surgeon removes the problematic disc through a small incision in the front of the neck and fuses the adjacent vertebrae to stabilize the spine. Benefits include pain relief, improved function, and prevention of further spinal deterioration. Recovery typically involves a few weeks of limited activity, with full recovery in a few months.
