Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is one of the most common spinal surgeries performed in the US but is associated with various morbidities. Esophageal perforation is one of the rarest complications of ACDF, but it is potentially fatal, therefore requiring timely detection and treatment. We present three cases of esophageal perforation after ACDF.
