Get a better look at pre-op, surgical and post-op procedures for ACDF below.
Preoperative
Before surgery, the entire procedure will be discussed with the patient. The surgeon will walk the patient through everything that will happen during surgery, including the risks. This is all done so that the patient is aware and involved in their care decisions.
The patient will once again be asked if any allergies or medical conditions are present that could affect the surgical outcomes. Once the patient is cleared, they will head to the operating room.
