In China there are million people > years old, and the prevalence of elderly patients with degenerative diseases of the cervical spine is also increasing, diseases that seriously disturb an individual’s living condition. The desire of elderly patients to improve their quality of life is becoming stronger, and the demand for elective surgery by elderly patients is increasing. Although the elderly patient cohort is the fastest expanding segment of the population undergoing surgery, there is a paucity of clinical research specific to elderly patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)., The ailments of elderly patients are often accompanied by comorbidities, malnutrition, polypharmacy, functional decline, and psychological alterations, and the specific social needs of patients may coexist and overlap, which creates a condition of limited adaptation to surgical stress that consistently affects surgical outcome. To improve the surgical safety of elderly patients, it is necessary to decrease surgical stress and improve the ability of the patient to resist surgical stress.
