Advancing Spine Care: Artificial Disc Replacement at Advanced Ambulatory Surgery Center (AASC) in Altamonte Springs
Artificial disc replacement (ADR) stands at the forefront of modern spine care, offering a pivotal alternative to traditional cervical fusion procedures. At the Advanced Ambulatory Surgery Center (AASC) in Altamonte Springs, we provide doctors the space to specialize in advanced surgical techniques. This blog provides essential insights for physicians specializing in artificial disc replacement, highlighting this transformative procedure's innovative approach and benefits.
Understanding Artificial Disc Replacement
Artificial disc replacement is a surgical procedure designed to replace a damaged or diseased spinal disc with an artificial implant. Unlike cervical fusion, which permanently joins vertebrae together, ADR maintains natural motion in the spine by preserving the movement between adjacent vertebrae. This preservation of motion is crucial for reducing the risk of adjacent segment degeneration and maintaining overall spinal biomechanics.
Procedure Overview
The procedure begins with a small incision made in the front of the neck, providing access to the affected disc. Surgeons meticulously navigate the surgical site using a fluoroscope—a specialized imaging device to ensure precision throughout the operation. Advanced surgical tools are then employed to remove the damaged disc entirely, restoring the disc space to its original height and relieving pressure on surrounding nerves.
Advantages of Artificial Disc Replacement
Preservation of Spinal Motion: ADR allows for continued movement and flexibility in the spine, facilitating a more natural range of motion compared to fusion procedures.
Reduced Risk of Adjacent Segment Degeneration: By preserving motion at the treated level, artificial disc replacement helps mitigate the potential for adjacent discs to degenerate over time, a common issue following fusion surgeries.
Minimized Pain and Recovery Time: Thanks to the minimally invasive nature of ADR, which involves moving rather than cutting muscles and tissues, patients typically experience less postoperative pain, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery times compared to traditional surgeries.
