Disc Replacement Surgery in Hyderabad

What is Disc Replacement Surgery?

Disc Replacement Surgery, also known as Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR) or Total Disc Arthroplasty, is a procedure where a damaged spinal disc is removed and replaced with an artificial disc implant.

This technique helps:

Maintain natural spinal movement
Reduce pressure on spinal nerves
Eliminate the need for fusion
Prevent stress on adjacent discs

Conditions Treated with Disc Replacement

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)
Herniated or bulging discs (cervical or lumbar)
Chronic neck or back pain not responding to conservative treatment
Failed non-surgical therapies
Discogenic pain (pain arising from the disc itself)

Benefits of Disc Replacement Surgery

Maintains spine flexibility and motion
Faster recovery compared to spinal fusion
Lower risk of adjacent disc degeneration
Shorter hospital stay and quicker return to work
Minimally invasive option in many cases
