Cervical Disc Arthroplasty

A MODERN SOLUTION FOR SPINAL HEALTH

At Royal Spine Surgery, we pride ourselves on offering cutting-edge solutions for spinal health. Also known as artificial disc replacement, cervical disc arthroplasty is a surgical procedure designed to treat cervical disc degeneration. During this procedure, a damaged disc is replaced with a cervical artificial disc implant, restoring motion and function to the spine.

On cervical disc arthroplasty vs. fusion, anterior cervical disc arthroplasty offers several advantages. It preserves motion in the spine, reducing the risk of adjacent segment degeneration and maintaining flexibility. Additionally, patients often experience quicker cervical disc arthroplasty recovery times and may have a lower risk of developing complications such as adjacent segment disease.

At Royal Spine Surgery, we understand the importance of convenience and comfort for our patients. In select cases, cervical artificial disc replacement can be performed in the outpatient setting, allowing patients to return home the same day of their surgery. Our experienced team will work with you to determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Providing a Refined Approach to Complex Conditions

MicroTube^TM spine surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses tubular retractor system to access and treat spine conditions. At Royal Spine Surgery, we use this cutting-edge technology to minimize tissue damage and blood loss, reduce postoperative pain, and speed up recovery time for our patients. During the procedure, a small incision is made through which a series of tubes are inserted, providing a path to access and operate on the spine. This technique allows for greater precision and accuracy, making it an ideal option for treating a range of spine conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. This procedure might not be appropriate for all patients, and the decision to undergo this procedure should be made after careful evaluation by a qualified spine surgeon. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications associated with MicroTube^TM Spine Surgery , and it should only be considered after careful evaluation by a qualified spine surgeon.
