Neck pain and disc herniation surgery. ACDF and disc replacement.

Surgery to treat a disc herniation in the neck is usually performed through a small incision in the front of the neck. Once the herniated disc is removed, a fusion (ACDF) or disc replacement is performed. Surgery is very effective to treat symptoms of nerve pain.

In this video, I talk about how surgery for both an anterior cervical fusion and disc replacement is performed. Both can be used to treat a disc herniation in the neck. I also discuss the pros and cons of doing a fusion (ACDF) or a cervical disc replacement.
