STUDY DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed with the literature including the case of C5 palsy following anterior cervical decompression surgery. OBJECTIVE To compare 3 reconstructive procedures of anterior cervical decompression, the incidences of delayed C5 palsy and other complications were assessed. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Delayed C5 palsy is now a well-known complication after cervical decompression surgery. The etiology of C5 palsy has been studied, especially after posterior surgery. However, in anterior surgery there has been a lack of investigation due to procedure variation. Additionally, limited evidence exists regarding the risk of C5 palsy in surgical procedures. METHODS We performed an extensive literature search for C5 palsy and other complications with ACDF, ACCF and their combination (Hybrid). Gross incidences of C5 palsy after these 3 procedures were compared, and specific superiorities (or inferiorities) were investigated via comparison of binary outcomes between 2 out of 3 groups using odds ratios (OR). RESULTS Twenty-six studies met the inclusion criteria. A total of 3098 patients were included and 5.8% of those developed C5 palsy. Meta-analyses demonstrated that ACDF had a lower risk of palsy than ACCF (OR; 0.36, 95% confidence interval[CI] 0.16-0.78), while ACDF vs Hybrid (OR; 0.60, 95%CI 0.24-1.51) and Hybrid vs ACCF (OR; 1.11, 95%CI 0.29-4.32) were not significantly different. Although these differences were not observed in shorter lesion subgroups, there were significant differences between the 3 procedures in longer lesion subgroups (p = 0.0005). Meta-analyses revealed that in longer lesions, ACDF had a significantly lower incidence than ACCF (OR; 0.42, 95%CI 0.22-0.82). Additionally, Hybrid surgery was non-inferior for palsy occurrence compared to ACCF, and suggested a trend for reduced rates of other complications compared to ACCF. CONCLUSIONS ACDF may yield better outcomes than Hybrid and ACCF. Furthermore, Hybrid may have advantages over ACCF in terms of surgical complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3.
