ACDF

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure performed to treat certain conditions affecting the cervical spine (neck). It involves removing a damaged or herniated disc in the neck and fusing the adjacent vertebrae together to provide stability.

Treatment name Cost range

Anterior Cervical Discectomy Rs.239760 to Rs.319680

Cervical Spine Surgery Rs.310800 to Rs.414400

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) Rs.177600 to Rs.236800

Endoscopic Micro Discectomy MED Rs.133200 to Rs.177600

ACDF procedures are typically performed by neurosurgeons or orthopedic surgeons specializing in spine surgery. These specialists have expertise in diagnosing cervical spine conditions and determining the most appropriate treatment approach for each patient.

ACDF surgery may involve the use of various technologies and surgical techniques to achieve the desired outcome. Some commonly used technologies include:

Microscopic or minimally invasive approaches: These techniques utilize specialized surgical instruments and magnification devices to access the cervical spine through smaller incisions, resulting in reduced tissue trauma and faster recovery.

Cervical plates and screws: These implants provide stability and support to the fused vertebrae during the healing process.

Bone grafts or bone substitutes: These materials are used to promote fusion between the adjacent vertebrae.

Biologics or growth factors: These substances may be used to enhance bone healing and fusion.
