Disc implant surgery involves replacing a damaged or diseased intervertebral disc with a prosthetic disc. It is typically suitable for individuals with severe back or neck pain caused by degenerative disc disease, herniated disc, or other conditions.
Disc implant surgery is a relatively high-risk procedure, and there are some potential complications, such as bleeding, infection, and nerve damage. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with your surgeon before making a decision.
Disc implant surgery is usually performed on an inpatient basis, meaning you will need to stay in the hospital for a few days after the surgery. The average hospital stay for disc implant surgery is 3-5 days.
Before disc implant surgery, your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for the surgery. This may include losing weight, quitting smoking, and taking certain medications.
After disc implant surgery, you will need to wear a brace for several weeks to support your spine or neck. You will also need to do physical therapy to help you regain range of motion and strength in your back or neck.
The average recovery time for disc implant surgery is 3-6 months. During this time, you will need to avoid strenuous activity and follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully.
