What is Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery?

Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery is a procedure that involves replacing a damaged or degenerated cervical disc with an artificial disc device. The goal of this surgery is to relieve pain caused by nerve compression in the cervical spine and maintain motion in the affected segment.

How is Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery Performed?

During the procedure, the patient is placed under general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision in the front of the neck to access the cervical spine. The damaged disc is then removed and replaced with an artificial disc device. The artificial disc is designed to maintain normal motion and alignment in the spine, helping to prevent further degeneration in the surrounding segments.

When Might You Need Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR)?

Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery may be considered for individuals with the following indications:

• Confirmed cervical disc disease: An MRI or CT scan can show soft tissues—such as discs, nerve roots, and the spinal cord—in addition to bones. If imaging shows degeneration of one or more discs, the next step is to determine if any of the degenerating discs correlate to the pain or other symptoms experienced by the patient.
• Radicular pain and/or neurological deficits caused by a problematic disc: Most commonly, an inflamed cervical nerve root corresponds to problems with pain, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness that radiate down into the arm and/or hand. If the spinal cord is compressed within the cervical spine, cervical myelopathic symptoms and/or myelopathy may be experienced anywhere below the level of compression.
• Nonsurgical treatments have been tried: Cervical degenerative disc disease symptoms typically can be managed with nonsurgical treatments, such as rest, ice, heat, medications, physical therapy, and/or therapeutic injections. If the symptoms persist at least 4 to 6 weeks despite nonsurgical treatments, a surgical solution is more likely to be needed for pain relief.
• Surgery would be well tolerated: Candidates for cervical ADR must be in generally good health and capable of recovering well from the surgery. The candidate needs to have reached full skeletal maturity (with no more bone growth left) but still be in good enough health for the procedure’s benefits to outweigh the risks.
