Perioperative intravenous and local steroid use could reduce incidence and severity of early dysphagia after ACSS postoperatively, especially for multilevel surgeries. For the patients underwent revision surgery or at high risk for pseudarthrosis having to use BMP during surgery, locally administered depomedrol on a collagen sponge was suggested to decrease early dysphagia incidence and severity after ACSS.
