Postoperative complications in patients with sickle cell disease undergoing single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
SCD patients undergoing single-level ACDF were found to have significantly higher odds of multiple postoperative complications compared to matched controls. These findings suggest that SCD patients may require more intensive perioperative care and monitoring to minimize such adverse outcomes. Further research is needed to optimize management strategies for this high-risk population.
