Specialized surgical options available for degenerative disc disease in India at affordable prices
Degenerative disc disease is one of the spine disease more commonly associated with aging. These are the intervertebral discs and mainly affects any of the cervical or region lumbar spine.
The spine is made up of several vertebral bones stacked one above the other. Between the vertebrae are discs that give mobility to the spine and act as shock absorbers. In the back, two small joints at each level – called facet joints. This type of structure allows you bend and rotate in different directions.
When disks are spent with aging, vertebral column to that particular level, it functions normally and the later becomes painful. Disc degeneration leads to a condition called degenerative disc disease.
It is mainly characterized by back pain although chronic symptoms vary from patient to patient. Pain radiating to the buttocks or thighs, tingling and weakness through the knees may be other symptoms observed in some patients.
Whereas the vast majority of these patients can be treated with painkillers, braces, physical therapy, small percentage of these patients do not respond to nonsurgical treatment and need surgery.
The two surgical options for spine conditions are spinal fusion and disc replacement
In spinal fusion surgery, the disc (which is a soft material between two vertebrae) is removed and the space is filled with bone graft. In due time, the bone creates a solid bony bridge across the two vertebrae. To suppress the movement, previously segment pain is pain free.
However, the disadvantage of this procedure is that not only does this remove the normal movements of the spine at that particular level, but ultimately leads to degeneration of higher levels of the spine that is not previously affected. So, this leads to pain in the unaffected segment over time.
Modern and innovative surgical treatment for degenerative disc disease is – Replace the disk. After removing the disc, is replaced by an artificial disc which thus restores the movements in this segment in particular and no movement becomes larger segment of vertebral column painful in the long term.
The artificial disc is an alternative to spinal fusion in patients who have one or two degenerated painful discs usually between L4/L5 and L5/S1.
With the latest and most advanced medical technology and better trained in medical schools, India now boasts of offering specialized surgery cord for both inside as well as international patients from around the world at very affordable prices.
