Anterior Cervical Discectomy Fusion Procedure,

• The Procedure
• ACDF is typically performed under general
  anesthesia, and the procedure usually takes about
  1-2 hours to complete. Here are the basic steps
  involved in the procedure
• Incision A small incision is made in the front
  of the neck to access the cervical spine.
• Discectomy The damaged or herniated disc is
  removed from the neck, relieving pressure on the
  spinal cord or nerve roots.
• Fusion A bone graft is inserted into the space
  where the disc was removed, promoting new bone
  growth and fusing the adjacent vertebrae. Metal
  plates or screws are also used to provide
  additional stability and support.
• Closure The incision is closed with sutures or
  staples, and a bandage is applied to the neck.

• Anterior Posterior for Scoliosis Correction UK
• Scoliosis is a spinal deformity that causes the
  backbone to curl sideways.
• In some cases, surgery may be necessary to
  correct scoliosis and prevent further progression
  of the condition. There are two main types of
  surgery for scoliosis anterior and posterior.
• Anterior scoliosis correction involves accessing
  the spine from the front of the body, while
  posterior correction involves accessing the spine
  from the back.
• The choice of surgery depends on several factors,
  including the location and severity of the curve,
  the patients age and health, and the surgeons
  expertise.
