Cervical Disc Replacement in India Overview
Cervical disc replacement is a cutting-edge surgical procedure designed to treat degenerative disc disease or herniated discs in the neck. India is a leading destination for this procedure, offering world-class medical care at affordable prices. Indian hospitals are equipped with the latest technology, and the country’s skilled orthopedic and neurosurgeons are highly experienced in performing cervical disc replacements, ensuring optimal outcomes for patients.
Types of Cervical Disc Replacement in India
Single-Level Cervical Disc Replacement: Involves the replacement of one damaged cervical disc with an artificial disc. This is the most common type of cervical disc replacement.
Multi-Level Cervical Disc Replacement: For patients with multiple damaged discs, this procedure replaces two or more discs, restoring alignment and function to the cervical spine.
Minimally Invasive Cervical Disc Replacement: Advanced surgical techniques that involve smaller incisions, leading to reduced recovery times and minimized postoperative pain.
Hybrid Surgery: Combines cervical disc replacement with spinal fusion for patients with complex spinal conditions requiring both treatments.
