Procedure Details

This procedure aims at alleviating pressure from the spinal nerves and the cervical cord due to disc herniation or any other cervical vertebrae abnormalities. In this technique, the faulty area of the disc or bone is first taken out and thereafter, an attempt is made to fuse the vertebrae by employing some implants or bone grafts. Here, the bulging or injured disc is excised between two vertebrae, and it is replaced with an artificial disc which eliminates the manifestations and also enhances the range of motion at the cervical zone. This procedure is done with the back side approach to free or discharge the spinal cord and nerves. This is due to the fact that the removal of the bone enables the larger space for nerves that were compressed earlier because of the existence of the abnormal bone or spinal stenosis
