What Is Disc Replacement Surgery

Disc replacement surgery involves removing a damaged spinal disc and replacing it with an artificial disc designed to restore spinal stability and preserve movement. It may be considered for selected patients with persistent symptoms caused by disc degeneration that have not improved with appropriate non-surgical treatment. Careful assessment helps determine whether disc replacement is suitable.
