What Is A Disc Replacement?
Our ambulatory surgery center is trained to perform minimally invasive procedures that will allow you to undergo convenient procedures with quality care and care. An artificial disc replacement is one of those minimally invasive procedures which significantly reduces the pain and recovery a patient normally experiences when undergoing surgery. This is because the procedure does not require any tissues or muscles to be moved or cut. Patients who undergo this procedure experience surgery for an hour and can be released the same day.
Cervical artificial disc replacements, also known as ADR, aim to relieve pressure on any nerves that may be compressed and allow your body to maintain motion at the repaired spinal level.
An ADR is a newer surgery and a more advanced treatment that has proven to be very successful and has recently received FDA approval. These discs provide support for the neck's vertebrae as well as allow a range of motion for the head. You can learn more information on how the six intervertebral discs in the neck allow your cervical spine to move in all different directions by watching this video.
Prior to this procedure, the affected disk was removed and the vertebrae above and below were fused to prevent motion. This procedure may be considered an alternative to a cervical fusion if that option has failed. It is a surgery that joins two or more vertebrae together. The purpose of the procedure is to prevent the bones from moving and relieve back pain. Their movement changes after the bones have been fused.
By doing this, you avoid stretching nearby nerves, ligaments, and muscles that could have caused discomfort. The cervical artificial disc replacement is a more advanced surgery and does not require patients to wear any type of bracing after the procedure. Cervical discs can begin to collapse as you get older, which can cause degenerative disc disease. If you are a patient who may suffer from degenerative disc disease or a herniated disc then you may be a candidate for ADR.
