Cervical Spine Surgery
(Advanced neck pain, disc replacement, and cervical spine stabilization by Dr Abhishek Mannem)
Neck pain and arm tingling can sometimes mean more than muscle strain — they can be signs of cervical disc herniation or nerve compression. When medication and physiotherapy no longer help, cervical spine surgery offers lasting relief and prevents nerve damage.
At Bangalore Back, I specialize in both cervical disc replacement (ADR) and fusion surgeries, combining precision technology with minimally invasive approaches. Our focus is on motion preservation, safety, and early return to normal life for patients across Bangalore, South India, and abroad.
Understanding Cervical Spine Problems
The cervical spine (neck region) consists of seven vertebrae protecting the spinal cord and supporting head movement. Ageing, injury, or lifestyle factors can lead to degeneration or disc herniation, pressing on spinal nerves or the cord.
Common causes include:
- Cervical disc prolapse (slipped disc)
- Cervical spondylosis (arthritis and bone spurs)
- Spinal canal stenosis (narrowing)
- Cervical myelopathy (spinal cord compression)
- Post-traumatic instability
When to Consider Surgery
Surgery is recommended when non-surgical care fails or neurological symptoms progress. Typical indications include:
- Persistent neck pain radiating to arms or hands
- Numbness, weakness, or tingling in limbs
- Difficulty walking or balance issues (spinal cord pressure)
- Severe disc herniation or bone spur compressing nerves
- Failed conservative treatment for over 6–8 weeks
Timely surgery can prevent irreversible nerve or spinal cord damage, especially in cervical myelopathy cases.
Types of Cervical Spine Surgery We Perform
Every cervical case is unique. We tailor surgical plans using AI-based 3D planning, navigation, and neuromonitoring for accuracy and safety.
Procedures offered at Bangalore Back include:
- ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion): Removes the damaged disc and fuses the vertebrae for stability.
- Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR): Preserves natural neck motion using advanced implants.
- Posterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion: For multilevel compression or deformity.
- Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Decompression: For selective nerve root relief.
- Hybrid Construct Surgery: Combines disc replacement and fusion for multilevel disease.
