No results posted yet for this study

Summary

• Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a highly effective and safe method for spinal cord and cervical root decompression. Vocal cord paralysis secondary to recurrent laryngeal nerve injury is a common complication after ACDF. The incidence reported as high as 22%. The standard technique for vocal cord evaluation and the most commonly used tool is direct laryngoscopy. Laryngoscopy causes patients annoyance and could potentially contribute to poor patient compliance. Ultrasonography is a non-invasive technique that is used as an alternative tool.
