Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is generally performed for brachalgia and is linked with significant complication such as spinal cord injury recurrent laryngeal palsy, infection or swallowing issue. The Anterior cervical microforaminotomy (ACMF) approach includes for the immediate evacuation of the compressive variation from the norm and the conservation of the movement fragments without bone combination or post-agent immobilization. The general aim of the study is to assess the surgical outcome between Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion with Transcorporeal Anterior Cervical Microforaminotomy. Single institutional retrospective analysis. The outcome of both interventions were compared through statistical method. A total 60 ACDF and 40 ACMF were performed. There were no difference in the preoperative neck and VAS score. A single prospective study of modified transcorporeal anterior cervical microforaminotomy was analysed in a private hospital (Comfort Hospital), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Patients having pure brachialgia who was not relieved by conservative treatment over 6-8 weeks in cervical disc prolapse was included in the study.
