Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery in patients with cervical disc herniation at Viet Duc Hospital. Methods: A prospective descriptive study involving 41 patients with cervical disc herniation who underwent single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) at Viet Duc Hospital from January 2022 to January 2023. Results: Among the 41 patients in our study, the majority were female, accounting for 56.1%, with an average age of 45.8 ± 7.68 years. Most patients presented with symptoms of spinal cord compression, including reduced hand dexterity (58.5%), quadriparesis (75.6%), hyperreflexia (63.4%), and a positive Hoffmann's sign (68.2%). The average mJOA score was 9.8 ± 4.2, and the average NDI score was 51.6% ± 11.3%. The surgical characteristics showed an average operative time of 60.58 ± 18.14 minutes, an average blood loss of 65.18 ± 18.14 ml, and an average hospital stay of 5.42 ± 1.21 days. Intraoperative complications included one patient with recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Postoperative complications included two patients with dysphagia and one patient with hoarseness. VAS, NDI, and mJOA scores significantly improved at 1 month and 6 months postoperatively. Six patients developed adjacent segment disease, accounting for 14,6%. Conclusion: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery for patients with cervical disc herniation is a safe procedure with a low complication rate and provides significant clinical benefits for patients.
