What Is Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery?

Cervical disc replacement is a surgical procedure in which a diseased disc in the neck is removed and replaced with an artificial disc. These discs are placed between the vertebrae of the cervical spine, which is the upper portion of your backbone. They allow for flexibility, movement, and shock absorption. When damaged, these discs can press on nerves and create symptoms that affect your neck, shoulders, and arms.

Cervical disc replacement surgery helps restore normal function while maintaining motion in the spine—offering a distinct advantage over traditional fusion procedures.

Why Is Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery Needed?

Over time, spinal discs can weaken due to age, injury, or repetitive stress. Common reasons for cervical disc replacement include:

  • Cervical disc herniation: When disc material pushes out and irritates nearby nerves.
  • Degenerative disc disease: Progressive wear and tear on spinal discs that causes inflammation and instability.
  • Loss of disc height: Collapsed discs can reduce the space between vertebrae, placing pressure on spinal structures.

You may experience symptoms such as:

  • Persistent neck pain or stiffness
  • Radiating pain to the shoulders or arms
  • Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms or hands
  • Tension headaches

If other therapies like medication or physical therapy have failed, cervical disc replacement in Hollywood, FL, may provide the long-term solution you need.

The Cervical Disc Replacement Procedure: What to Expect

When undergoing cervical disc replacement, your procedure will typically include the following steps:

  1. Preparation: You will receive general anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
  2. Incision: A small incision is made at the front of the neck to access the cervical spine.
  3. Disc Removal: The damaged disc is removed carefully, avoiding surrounding nerves and tissues.
  4. Artificial Disc Placement: A custom-designed implant is inserted to replace the disc and maintain motion.
  5. Closure: The incision is closed with absorbable sutures, resulting in minimal scarring.
