What is SLIP DISC SURGERY?
Slip disc surgery is a procedure to treat a herniated or slipped disc in the spine that causes pain, numbness, or weakness. The surgery removes or repairs the damaged disc to relieve pressure on nerves and restore mobility. Using modern techniques, slip disc surgery helps patients recover faster, reduce discomfort, and return to daily activities safely while protecting the spine’s overall function.
Surgery for slipped disc
procedures include
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
1. Incision :
A small incision is made in the front of the neck (anterior approach) to access the cervical spine.
2. Discectomy
The herniated or bulging disc pressing on nerves or the spinal cord is carefully removed.
3. Fusion :
A bone graft or synthetic material is inserted to fill the space left by the removed disc. Plates, screws, or cages may be used to stabilize the spine and promote fusion between adjacent vertebrae over time.
4. Closure :
The incision is closed with sutures or staples.
Disc Replacement Surgery
1. Incision :
Performed through a similar anterior approach as ACDF.
2. Disc Removal :
The damaged disc is removed.
3. Artificial Disc Implant :
Instead of fusion, an artificial disc is inserted between the vertebrae to preserve motion at the treated segment.
4. Closure :
The incision is closed as in ACDF.
Purpose: Disc replacement surgery maintains natural spinal movement and is ideal for patients with healthy adjacent discs who wish to retain mobility while relieving symptoms.
