Comparison of Complications between Anterior Cervical Diskectomy and Fusion versus Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion in Two- and Three-Level Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: A Meta-analysis

Conclusion In general, postoperative pseudarthrosis, dysphagia, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, hematoma, C5 palsy, infection, and graft dislodgment did not differ significantly between the two groups. Total complication was significantly less in the ACDF group compared to the ACCF group. In the three-level subgroup, the morbidity of C5 palsy, infection, and graft dislodgment was significantly lower in ACDF than in ACCF.
