Abstract

Objective: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a commonly performed surgical procedure in patients with cervical spine radiculopathy and/or myelopathy. It's considered safe, but one of its most common complications is postoperative dysphagia, which can negatively impact the patient's quality of life, and increase health costs. In this study, we discuss our experience with post-ACDF dysphagia (PAD) in terms of incidence, risk factors and approach to management.

Results: In total, 196 eligible patients were included with a mean age of 50.38 years (SD = 11.18); 107 patients (54.6%) were males, and 89 (45.4%) were females. The incidence of PAD was 5.6% (11/196 patients). No significant association could be found between the development of PAD and the assessed patient-related factors (age, gender, body mass index, and comorbidities) nor surgical factors (number of operated levels, use of anterior plate, operative time).

颈前路椎间盘切除术和融合术后早期吞咽困难：一项中心经验。

目的：颈前路椎间盘切除术和融合术（ACDF）是治疗颈椎神经根病和/或脊髓病的常用手术方法。它被认为是安全的，但其最常见的并发症之一是术后吞咽困难，这会对患者的生活质量产生负面影响，并增加医疗成本。在本研究中，我们讨论了acdf后吞咽困难（PAD）的发生率、危险因素和处理方法。结果：共纳入196例符合条件的患者，平均年龄50.38岁（SD = 11.18）；男性107例（54.6%），女性89例（45.4%）。PAD的发生率为5.6%（11/196例）。PAD的发展与评估的患者相关因素（年龄、性别、体重指数和合并症）和手术因素（手术水平的数量、前钢板的使用、手术时间）之间没有明显的关联。
