Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is one of the most common neck surgeries performed. In simple terms: The damaged disc pressing on the nerves is removed. A spacer restores height and alignment. A plate and screws hold everything in place so the bones fuse into one solid piece. The goal? Relieve nerve pressure, reduce pain, stabilize the spine, and restore quality of life. Bonus: Wonder how I reduce the look of a scar? One way is I make the incision along Langer’s lines which are the natural skin creases in the neck. This helps the incision heal in line with your natural folds, making the scar barely noticeable.
