Risk Factors for Dysphagia after Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion with the <scp>Zero‐P</scp> implant system: A Study with Minimum of 2 Years Follow‐up

Abstract

More operated levels, more operation time, more dC_2-7 angle and dPSTT were the risk factors for postoperative dysphagia. In additional, sufficient preoperative preparation, evaluation combined with proficient and precise surgical treatment were suggested to reduce the incidence of postoperative dysphagia when ACDF was performed.
