Minimally Invasive Anterior Cervical Discectomy In india

For some people with chronic neck pain or other disorders that affect the cervical spine, an anterior cervical discectomy might be needed. The following information discusses this common surgical procedure.

The Cervical Spine

The human spine is divided into three sections : -

1. the cervical spine or neck (which is made up of 7 vertebrae)
2. the thoracic spine (which is made up of 12 vertebrae)
3. the lumbar spine or low back (which consists of 5 vertebrae)

Cervical Pain

Millions of people suffer from pain in their necks or arms. A common cause of cervical pain is a rupture or herniation of one or more of the cervical discs. This happens when the annulus of the disc tears and the soft nucleus squeezes out. As a result, pressure is put on the nerve root or the spinal cord and causes pain in the neck, shoulders, arms and sometimes the hands. Cervical disc herniations can occur as a result of aging, wear and tear, or sudden stress like from an accident.

Most cases of cervical pain do not require surgery and are treated using non-surgical methods such as medications, physical therapy and/or bracing. However, if patients experience significant pain and weakness that does not improve, surgery might be necessary.

The cervical spine begins at the base of the skull and supports the weight of the head. The spinal cord runs from the brain down through the cervical spine, controlling the function of the body’s organs and limbs. In between apiece of the 7 vertebrae of the cervical spine are soft pads or discs which act as shock-absorbers and grant for bending and movement of the head. Each disc is made up of two parts, a soft center called the nucleus and a tough outer band called the annulus.
