About Cervical Disc
Replacement
• Cervical disc replacement is a surgical procedure which
involves removing a damaged or degenerated cervical disc
with an artificial disc device.
• The surgery is done with the intent to preserve motion at
the artificial disc device.
• It is an alternative to the use of bone grafts, plates and
screws which eliminate motion at operated disc space in the
neck.

Indications for Cervical
Disc Replacement Surgery
• The indications for cervical replacement are the same
as for cervical discectomy and fusion. The indications
generally include arm pain, weakness or numbness of
cervical spine with some degrees of neck pain. The
symptoms are due to herniated disc or osteophytes
compressing adjacent nerves or spinal cord. This
condition usually occurs at cervical spine levels C4-5,
C5-6 or C6-7.

Ideal Candidates for Cervical
Disc Replacement
• The ideal candidates must meet certain criteria before
being admitted into a clinical trial, such as:
- The candidates must have undergone a trial of non
operative treatment for at least 4 to 6 weeks
- Have had no prior neck surgery
- Must be deemed a good surgical candidate

Procedure of Cervical
Disc Replacement surgery
• The cervical disc replacement operation is performed under general
anaesthesia. For cervical disc replacement, an anterior approach to
the cervical spine is used. A horizontal incision of 3-5 cm is made
on one side of the neck. The damaged disc is exposed and
removed. The damaged disc is then completely removed along with
the impinging disc fragments or osteophytes. The disc space is
distracted to its normal disc height to decompress the nerves. After
removal of the disc, the disc replacement device is sized and placed
between the vertebrae. Fluoroscopy is used to facilitate proper
positioning of disc replacement implant.

Recovery after Cervical
Disc Replacement
• The patients are discharged home the same day or next morning.
The cervical spine is immobilized in a cervical collar for up to a
week depending upon surgeon’s decision. Pain, numbness and
weakness are dramatically improved within hours of the surgery.
In some cases it may take weeks or months to recover
completely. X-rays are done to confirm proper positioning of
the cervical disc device. The patient can resume light work within
a week or two of surgery or by six weeks following the surgery.

Advantages of Cervical Disc
Replacement Surgery over
Cervical Fusion
• Maintains normal neck motion
• Reduces degeneration of adjacent segments of cervical
spine
• Eliminates need for bone grafting
• Early post operative neck motion
• Early return to normal activities
