Cervical Disc Arthroplasty (CDA)

If conservative treatment is ineffective or there is a risk of neurological damage, a

How Cervical Disc Arthroplasty (CDA) is performed
This procedure is mostly performed through an anterior approach. Under the guidance of microscopy and fluoroscopy, the intervertebral disc and osteophytes causing compression are removed to fully decompress the nerve root. If anatomical conditions permit, an artificial disc is implanted to preserve segmental mobility. Neuroelectrophysiological monitoring and irrigation hemostasis can be used. Postoperative assessment of swallowing and neurological status, and confirmation of implant position and activity through imaging, the goal is to relieve symptoms and maintain function. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
