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
