Abstract
The optimal surgical treatment for multilevel cervical degenerative disc disease is still controversial. The purpose of this article is to review the current evidence of the hybrid cervical surgery, which combines anterior cervical discectomy and fusion and cervical disc arthroplasty, for treating this condition. This fusion-nonfusion hybrid procedure provides favorable biomechanics and promising clinical and radiographic outcomes in both contiguous and skip-level pathologies. However, further high-quality and long-term follow-up studies are required to provide strong evidence and validate the results of the hybrid cervical spine surgery.
