Surgery to treat a disc herniation in the neck is usually performed through a small incision in the front of the neck. Once the herniated disc is removed, a fusion (ACDF) or disc replacement is performed. Surgery is very effective to treat symptoms of nerve pain and is generally a common and safe surgery to undergo.

In this video, I talk about risks of surgery for both an anterior cervical fusion and disc replacement. For more information about how the surgery is performed, or for information about other treatment options for a disc herniation in the neck, see the other videos on this channel.
