Top Spinal Disc Replacement in India
Artificial disc replacement is the procedure through which a damaged sine disc is replaced with an artificial one. By replacing the disc and removing it, as in the case of spinal fusion procedure, the spine keeps its natural mobility, therefore preventing abnormal motion or stress on the other spinal segments.
Good candidates for this procedure are patients who suffer from reduced mobility and pain caused by joint degeneration processes. Disc replacement is a long-term solutions for people between 30 and 60 years old.
Total disc replacement is most commonly performed in the lower back region (lumbar disc replacement) or in the neck region (cervical replacement).
Cervical Disc Replacement
The surgeon makes a 1-inch incision in the front of the neck to have access to the spine and replace the damaged disc. Patients will have to stay in the hospital for maximum 48 hours and will be able to move. Doctors advise patients to return to normal activity as soon as coordination and balance are restored.
Lumbar Spine Total Disc Replacement
The procedure is more complicated than the cervical disc replacement and the hospitalization period varies from 2 to 4 days. An anterior approach is used to introduce the replacement disc made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, cobalt-chrome alloys or plasma sprayed titanium coatings. This implant will improve and maintain the range of motion, extension, stability, flexion, lateral bending, rotation and will sustain compression.
Before and after the total disc replacement procedure
The doctor will first perform a number of tests to see if the patient is a candidate for the procedure. Some of these tests are X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging or computerized tomography.
Total disc replacement does not require bone to heal, therefore the recovery period will be faster and patients will be encouraged to stand and walk from the very first day after the surgery.
