Abstract:Nowdays, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and cervical artificial disc replacement (CADR) are the most accepted procedure to treat multilevel cervical degenerative disc diseases. However, ACDF reduces the motion of the cervical spine and accelerates adjacent level degeneration. Strict indications and hyper-mobility of the operative levels may limit the application of multilevel CADR. Some experts put forward the method of Hybrid surgery incorporating ACDF and CADR. The purpose of this study is to review the progress of Hybrid surgery treating multilevel cervical degenerative disc diseases.
