ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The study aims to investigate whether intraoperative protection of the pharyngeal autonomic nerve can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative dysphagia following anterior cervical decompression and fusion surgery (ACDF).

METHODS:

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 130 cases that underwent ACDF from January 2018 to June 2022 at our hospital. Divided into nonautonomic neuroprotection (NANP) group and autonomic neuroprotection group based on whether receive protective measures for the pharyngeal autonomic nerve during surgery. General data were recorded and compared between the 2 groups. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated using Neck Disability Index, Japanese Orthopaedics Association (JOA) score, and JOA improvement rate. The incidence and severity of postoperative dysphagia were assessed using Bazaz dysphagia assessment criteria and swallowing-quality of life questionnaire.

RESULTS:

There were no significant differences in general data (P > 0.05). The average operation time and intraoperative blood loss also showed no significant differences (P > 0.05). Both groups showed significant improvements in Neck Disability Index and JOA scores at all follow-up time points compared to preoperative scores (P < 0.01). The incidence of postoperative dysphagia in the autonomic neuroprotection group was significantly lower than that in the NANP group at all follow-up time points (P < 0.05). Both group showed a significant reduction in scores 3 days postoperatively compared to preoperative scores (P < 0.01), and the NANP group also showed significant reductions in scores at 3 month and 1 year postoperative follow-up time points compared to preoperative scores (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS:

The adoption of pharyngeal autonomic nerve protective measures during ACDF can effectively lower the probability of postoperative dysphagia.
