Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery

Restore Motion, Relieve Pain, Regain Life

Cervical disc replacement surgery is a cutting-edge procedure designed to alleviate neck pain and neurological symptoms caused by damaged or degenerated cervical discs. Unlike traditional spinal fusion, this innovative technique preserves mobility, allowing patients to maintain a natural range of motion.

What Is Cervical Disc Replacement?

Cervical disc replacement, also known as Total disc arthroplasty, involves removing a diseased or damaged cervical disc and replacing it with an artificial disc. This synthetic implant mimics the function of a natural disc, providing cushioning and flexibility between the vertebrae.  

The procedure is often recommended for conditions like:  

– Herniated cervical discs

– Cervical disc degeneration 

– Radiculopathy or myelopathy 

– Unresponsive neck pain and arm symptoms after conservative treatments

Benefits of Cervical Disc Replacement

– Preservation of Motion: Unlike spinal fusion, artificial discs maintain movement in the affected spinal segment.  

– Reduced Risk of Adjacent Segment Disease: By preserving natural motion, the stress on adjacent spinal segments is minimized.  

– Quicker Recovery: Less invasive than traditional fusion, allowing for faster rehabilitation.  

– Improved Quality of Life: Significant reduction in pain, improved mobility, and better function in daily activities. 

Our Expertise in Cervical Disc Replacement

We specialize in advanced spine care, including minimally invasive cervical disc replacement surgery. We use state-of-the-art imaging and surgical techniques to ensure precision and optimal outcomes.

Our approach emphasizes:

– Personalized Care: Tailored treatment plans based on your unique condition and lifestyle.  

– Minimally Invasive Techniques: Smaller incisions, reduced tissue damage, and faster recovery times.  

– Experienced Surgeons: Led by Dr Dheeraj, a renowned expert in spine surgery, our team has successfully performed numerous cervical disc replacement procedures. 

The Procedure: Step by Step

1. Preoperative Assessment: Detailed imaging (X-rays, MRI, or CT scans) is conducted to evaluate the affected disc and surrounding structures.  

2. Anesthesia and Incision: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia with a small incision made in the front of the neck.  

3. Disc Removal and Implantation: The damaged disc is carefully removed, and the artificial disc is implanted with precision to restore alignment and mobility.  

4. Closure and Recovery: The incision is closed, and patients are typically discharged within a day or two, depending on individual recovery. 

Recovery and Aftercare

– Most patients experience immediate relief from nerve-related symptoms like arm pain or numbness.  

– Return to light activities within 2–4 weeks, with full recovery in 6–8 weeks.  

– A comprehensive physical therapy plan ensures long-term success and mobility.
