Analysis of postoperative dysphagia after anterior cervical decompression and fusion.

Abstract:

:Purpose: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of postoperative dysphagia after anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) in terms of demographic, procedural and anaesthetic perspectives.Materials and methods: Medical records and radiologic data of patients who underwent anterior cervical surgery performed by two surgeons in a single centre between January 2012 and December 2015 were retrospectively analysed. Patients with spinal tumours, infective spondylitis and traumatic cervical pathologies were excluded. Patients with preoperative dysphagia and previous history of anterior cervical surgery were also excluded. Finally, 127 patients were enrolled. Bazaz dysphagia score was used for the diagnosis of postoperative dysphagia.Results: The incidence of postoperative dysphagia was 10.2% at six weeks after ACDF. Nine patients showed mild dysphagia that fully recovered at three months after ACDF. Four patients showed moderate dysphagia that also recovered fully at six months after surgery. The incidence of postoperative dysphagia increased significantly in cases of C4 or C5 level involvements. Age, sex, hypertension, body mass index, postoperative soft tissue swelling, intubation difficulty and intubation tools were not significant risk factors of ACDF. Diabetes mellitus, two surgical levels, the use of plate, long anaesthetic and operative time and large intubation tube size were causative factors of postoperative dysphagia in multivariable analysis (p < 0.05).Conclusions: The incidence of postoperative dysphagia after ACDF was relatively low, and the prognosis was good.
