How are we doing?
About the clinic
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is a specialized spine surgery available at Leadheal Hospital in Seoul, South Korea. This procedure addresses neck pain and nerve compression by removing a damaged disc through a small incision. The hospital serves over 44,000 patients every year and focuses on advanced spinal care for both local and international visitors.
ACDF Surgical Technique
Surgeons at this facility use an anterior approach for the procedure. This means they reach the spine through a 2-3 cm incision in the front of the neck. The surgeon removes the damaged disc to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. They then replace the disc with an artificial bone graft. This graft helps the vertebrae fuse together into one solid bone over time.
Specialized Spine Care and Expertise
The lead neurosurgeon at the hospital brings over 30 years of experience to every operation. This specialist has performed over 6,000 spine surgeries, providing a high level of precision for complex neck procedures. The spine center creates personalized treatment plans for each patient. These plans often combine surgery with non-surgical options to help with long-term recovery.
Multidisciplinary Approach to Recovery
Patients receive support from a team of different specialists. This group manages every step from the first consultation through the rehabilitation process. The center also offers other advanced methods if ACDF is not the best fit for a patient. These options include:
- Minimally invasive spine surgery to reduce recovery time.
- Endoscopic procedures for less tissue damage.
- Vertebroplasty to stabilize fractured vertebrae.
- Artificial disc replacement to maintain neck mobility.
