Herniated Disc
– When the disc between two vertebrae bulges or ruptures, it can compress spinal nerves, leading to pain, tingling, and weakness in the arms.
Degenerative Disc Disease
– Age-related changes can lead to disc degeneration, causing chronic neck pain and reduced mobility.
Spinal Stenosis
– Narrowing of the spinal canal puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, resulting in pain, numbness, or difficulty walking.
Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy
– Compression of the spinal cord due to arthritis and disc degeneration can lead to loss of hand function, balance issues, and bladder or bowel problems.
Trauma or Fractures
– Accidents causing vertebral fractures may require surgical stabilisation to prevent spinal cord injury.
At Khobragade Multispeciality Hospital, our expert spine surgeons perform advanced surgical techniques tailored to each patient’s condition:
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
– The most common procedure where the damaged disc is removed from the front of the neck, and adjacent vertebrae are fused for stability.
Posterior Cervical Laminectomy
– Removes part of the vertebra (lamina) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
Cervical Disc Replacement
– The damaged disc is replaced with an artificial disc, maintaining neck movement and reducing stress on adjacent discs.
Cervical Corpectomy
– Removal of part of the vertebra and disc to decompress the spinal cord, followed by fusion.
Preoperative Evaluation
– Comprehensive assessment including neurological examination, MRI, or CT scans to plan the surgery accurately.
During Surgery
– Performed under general anaesthesia with advanced monitoring for safety. Duration varies based on procedure complexity.
Postoperative Care
– Hospital stay of 2-3 days in most cases.
– Pain management, physiotherapy, and gradual return to activities are planned for optimal recovery.
