Reoperation rate after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion using standalone cages in degenerative disease: A study of 2,078 cases
The Spine Journal Sep 08, 2019
Shousha M, et al. - Researchers examined reoperations rates among patients with cervical spondylosis who underwent anterior decompression and fusion using stand-alone cervical interbody fusion cages. In addition, they sought for reasons for reoperations in these patients. Among 2,078 consecutive eligible cases, the overall incidence of reoperation was 5.63%. They noted early reoperation rate of 2.07%, mostly due to postoperative hematoma, and the late reoperation rate of 3.56%, mostly due to adjacent segment disease. Revision in 0.58% of cases was performed in correlation with pseudarthrosis. The group with a long segment fusion had significantly higher early reoperation rate, while patients undergoing a short segment fusion had significantly higher late reoperation rate.
