What is a disc prosthesis?

A disc prosthesis is a medical implant designed to replace a worn or damaged intervertebral disc, causing pain and functional limitations. By imitating the natural movements of the disc, it helps to :

  • Relieve pain: by eliminating the source of the problem, the prosthesis considerably reduces the pain associated with the damaged disc.
  • Preserve mobility: unlike other interventions which stiffen the spine, the prosthesis enables the spine to maintain its natural movements.
  • Delay wear and tear on neighboring discs: by replacing the diseased disc with a prosthesis, we avoid overloading adjacent discs.

When is it indicated?

Disc replacement is generally considered when conservative treatments (medications, physical therapy) have failed to relieve pain and the disc is the main source of the problem. It is particularly suitable for patients suffering from:

  • Chronic lumbago: persistent low back pain.
  • Herniated disc: when part of the disc moves out of place and compresses a nerve.
  • Degenerative disc disease without osteoarthritis: Natural, progressive degeneration of spinal discs.
  • No spinal instability.

The disc prosthesis can be implanted in either the lumbar (lower back) or cervical (neck) spine. In both cases, the principle is the same: replace a diseased disc to relieve pain and preserve mobility.

How is a disc prosthesis implanted?

A disc prosthesis is inserted through an anterior approach, which allows access to the disc without going through the back muscles. The surgeon removes the damaged disc and replaces it with an artificial disc.

Disc replacement is an effective solution for treating pain caused by worn discs. It offers many benefits in terms of pain relief, maintaining mobility, and improving quality of life.

This is an important medical decision to be made in consultation with your surgeon in Turkey. He or she will evaluate your medical condition and suggest the best solution for your situation.

Cervical disc replacement surgery in Turkey

Our team of expert surgeons in Turkey performs cervical disc replacement surgery through a small incision in the front of the neck. This minimally invasive approach allows access to the damaged disc.

The damaged disc is gently removed and then replaced with a perfectly fitting artificial prosthesis. This prosthesis usually consists of a metal plate implanted into the adjacent vertebrae and a central core of elastic material that allows the natural movement of the neck to be restored.

Lumbar disc replacement surgery in Turkey

Lumbar disc replacement surgery in Turkey is performed under general anesthesia and lasts an average of two hours. The hospital stay is usually 48 to 72 hours.

The surgery is performed in several stages:

  • Surgical access: The surgeon makes an incision in the lower abdomen, avoiding opening the peritoneum (the membrane covering the abdominal organs) to minimize risks and promote rapid recovery.
  • Removal of the defective disc: The disc causing the pain is carefully removed.
  • Placement of the prosthesis: The space created by the removal of the disc is prepared to receive the prosthesis. The size and shape of the prosthesis is chosen according to the patient's anatomy.
  • Wound closure: The wound is closed and drainage may be placed to remove any fluid.
