Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery influences swallowing function and physiology through videofluoroscopic swallowing assessments.
- Researchers analyzed data from 17 patients before and after the surgery, focusing on key swallowing metrics like penetration-aspiration and hyoid movement.
- Findings revealed significant declines in swallowing performance following the surgery, indicating that ACDF can negatively impact both the physical and functional aspects of swallowing, suggesting further research is needed.
