One of the crucial procedures falling under the umbrella of MISS is Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) Surgery. ACDF is employed to treat a variety of conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease, often causing neck and arm pain. In ACDF Surgery, the neurosurgeon accesses the cervical spine through a small incision in the front of the neck. This approach allows for the removal of the problematic disc or bone spurs, followed by the fusion of adjacent vertebrae, thus stabilizing the spine. The Benefits of ACDF Surgery and MISS ? Reduced Pain: The smaller incisions result in less tissue damage, leading to reduced post-operative pain. ? Shorter Hospital Stays: Patients can often return home within a day or two of the surgery.
