A study of Dutch neurosurgeons shows30 that 76.3% of them use the anterior cervical discectomy with fusion for cervical spine disc herniation surgeries.

In view of the risk, fortunately, the surgeons look for a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks of radicular arm pain in a patient before they perform a surgery.
