Dysphagia after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: a prospective study comparing two anterior surgical approaches
2013
Background
The Smith-Robinson approach is commonly used to expose the vertebrae in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Postoperative dysphagia has been frequently reported following this procedure. In this approach, surgical dissection can be carried out either lateral (LEO) or medial (MEO) to the omohyoid muscle. The purpose of this study was to compare the degree of dysphagia between the LEO and MEO groups.
