Cervical Disc Replacement or Discectomy
Cervical Disc Replacement or Discectomy Treatment

Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad offers advanced cervical disc replacement and discectomy procedures to relieve neck pain, arm pain, and nerve compression caused by cervical spine disorders. These surgeries are performed to treat herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis, helping patients regain mobility and improve their quality of life. Our experienced spine surgeons use both traditional and minimally invasive techniques tailored to each patient’s condition.
Cervical discectomy involves removing the damaged disc to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, while cervical disc replacement uses an artificial disc to preserve neck motion and prevent adjacent segment degeneration. With cutting-edge operation theatres and precision instruments, we ensure patient safety, minimal scarring, and faster recovery. Comprehensive post-operative care and physiotherapy support are also provided for long-term success.
If you are looking for cervical disc surgery in Hyderabad, Treatment Range Hospital is known for its skilled spine specialists, world-class facilities, and patient-centered approach. We are committed to delivering advanced spine care solutions to help you live pain-free and active again.
