  2. Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion: Procedure, Recovery & Care The Procedure ACDF is typically performed under general anesthesia, and the procedure usually takes about 1-2 hours to complete. Here are the basic steps involved in the procedure: Incision – A small incision is made in the front of the neck to access the cervical spine. Discectomy – The damaged or herniated disc is removed from the neck, relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. Fusion – A bone graft is inserted into the space where the disc was removed, promoting new bone growth and fusing the adjacent vertebrae. Metal plates or screws are also used to provide additional stability and support. Closure – The incision is closed with sutures or staples, and a bandage is applied to the neck.
