ACDF (Anterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion)

Cervical Decompression Fusion Surgery Pune

At Sancheti Hospital, we perform anterior cervical decompression and fusion to relieve pressure and stabilise the spine.

What is ACDF Spine Surgery?

ACDF, or Anterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion, is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to treat cervical spine conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease. The surgery involves accessing the cervical spine from the front (anterior approach), removing the problematic disc or bone spurs causing nerve compression, and fusing adjacent vertebrae to stabilize the spine.

ACDF spine surgery is recommended for patients experiencing chronic neck pain, numbness, weakness in the arms, or difficulty with coordination. By relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, this procedure improves neurological function and reduces discomfort.

At Sancheti Hospital in Pune, our team of expert spine surgeons is recognized for performing successful ACDF surgery, offering world-class care using advanced techniques and modern equipment. We ensure that every patient’s treatment is personalized, aiming for optimal outcomes while minimizing recovery time.

Benefits of ACDF Surgery

  • Provides relief from neck pain, arm pain, and neurological symptoms
  • Corrects spinal instability and prevents further nerve damage
  • Restores alignment and strength to the cervical spine
  • Minimally invasive techniques lead to smaller incisions and faster recovery
  • Improves overall posture and range of motion
  • Enhances quality of life by allowing patients to return to normal activities

Limitations and Disadvantages

  • Recovery may take several weeks, depending on age and overall health
  • Possible risks include infection, bleeding, or nerve injury
  • Some patients may experience stiffness or discomfort post-surgery
  • Not suitable for all cervical spine conditions—thorough evaluation is essential
  • Fusion may limit neck flexibility in certain cases
  • Requires commitment to post-operative care and physiotherapy
