Background: Airway-related complications are rare after cervical spine surgery but can be devastating and compromise a successful outcome. The objective of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the management of airway complications after anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS) and propose a treatment algorithm for approaching the patient with a compromised airway.

Methods: A literature search was conducted in PubMed and adapted for use in other databases, including the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Library Health Technology Assessment Database, Embase, and the National Health Service (NHS) Economic Evaluation Database.
