Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the incidence of voice hoarseness and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery, finding that RLN function remains intact in most cases.
- It included 108 patients who underwent pre- and post-surgery laryngoscopy and symptom evaluation, revealing that 20.4% experienced dysphagia, but very few reported actual voice hoarseness.
- The results suggest that certain factors, like endotracheal cuff pressure, may correlate with the development of postoperative symptoms, but overall, serious RLN damage was not observed.
