Cervical disc replacement involves replacing damaged or degenerated discs in the neck with artificial discs, restoring natural spinal movement and alleviating pain. This procedure is ideal for patients with herniated or degenerated discs causing chronic pain and limited mobility.
A herniated disc is when the intervertebral disc ruptures, spilling its jelly-like center into the spinal canal. Both a degenerated disc and a herniated disc can cause pressure on either the spinal cord or a spinal nerve, leading to neurological symptoms.
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of spaces within the spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. It often causes symptoms like pain, numbness, and muscle weakness, most commonly in the lower back and neck.
A herniated disc is when the intervertebral disc ruptures, spilling its jelly-like center into the spinal canal. Different terms are used to express the variances in appearance and the severity of different types of herniations.
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure where a damaged cervical disc is removed through an incision in the front of the neck. After disc removal, a bone graft or implant is placed to fuse the adjacent vertebrae, stabilizing the spine and alleviating symptoms such as pain and neurological impairment.
Microdiscectomy | Decompression Laminectomy
Spinal decompression surgery encompasses procedures like microdiscectomy and laminectomy to alleviate nerve compression in the spine. By removing bone, ligaments, or disc material, these surgeries aim to create more space for the nerves, alleviating pain, numbness, and weakness.

Cervical Disc Replacement involves replacing damaged or degenerated discs in the neck with artificial discs, restoring natural spinal movement and alleviating pain. This procedure is ideal for patients with herniated or degenerated discs causing chronic pain and limited mobility.
Decompression surgery, including laminectomy, involves removing part of the vertebral bone called the lamina to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This procedure is often used to treat spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or tumors.
