Can acdf surgery cause damage to the vagus nerve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: But has other complications, discuss with the surgeon risks, benefits and alternatives of the procedure before you proceed, a second or even a third opnion, if you wish, is your right , if you can afford the time and access to other surgeons, good luck
