Total Disc Replacement Surgery Abroad At Low Cost-Disc Replacement
Hello! I hope you enjoy this article.
The concept of replacing worn or damaged joints with artificial joints is well accepted. Most people will know somebody who has had a hip or knee replacement and other joint replacements, such as shoulders or ankles, are now undertaken routinely. For almost as long as surgeons have been replacing hip and knee joints there have been attempts to replace damaged discs in the spine, but until recently these attempts have been frustrated by technical and mechanical problems encountered in the lower spine . Surgical advances and engineering developments in recent years have overcome these problems and made the possibility of disc replacement a reality…
How is the Artificial Disc adapted to an individual ?
It is important to select the right implant for an individual. The dimensions from side to side and from front to back will vary according to the height and stature of an individual but will also depend on the level of the disc being replaced. The same factors will also affect the height of the implant. It is also important to restore the normal amount of wedging between the back and the front of the disc, called lordosis, since this can affect overall balance and have an impact on other parts of the spine…
How long does the surgery take ?
The operation normally takes about two hours for a single level disc replacement and about three and a half hours if two discs are being replaced…
Where is the incision made ?
The operation is done from the front, through the lower part of the abdomen, the patient being placed on his or her back. The incision may be horizontal or vertical and its position will depend on the level of the disc being replaced. For the L5/S1 disc it is usually a little above the top of the pubic hair line but a few centimetres above this for the L4/5 disc. The incision can be as little as 5 or 6 cms (2 inches) in a slim patient…
What happens during the procedure ?
After making the incision the anterior abdominal muscles (the ‘six-pack’ muscles) are separated and the peritoneal sack, containing the abdominal organs, carefully moved to one side. A marker is placed on the disc and an x-ray obtained to confirm the level where the disc replacement is to be inserted. The large blood vessels in front of the spine are then carefully moved to give the necessary access to the disc…
