First Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery in North Karnataka – Performed Successfully in Hubli

Published

Revolutionary Spine Surgery in Hubli – A Landmark Case in Cervical Disc Treatment

At Nara Vijnana Centre, Hubli, we recently achieved a significant milestone in spine surgery. A 39-year-old female patient suffering from severe cervical radiculopathy underwent artificial cervical disc replacement surgery, making it the first surgery of its kind in North Karnataka.

 

This advanced procedure was successfully performed by Dr. Vijaymahantesh Pujari, Consultant Neurosurgeon specializing in spine and brain surgeries, at our state-of-the-art facility located in Giriraj Annexe Building, T B Road, near Court Circle, Deshpande Nagar, Hubballi, Karnataka 580029.

 

What Is Cervical Disc Prolapse?

Cervical disc prolapse, also known as a herniated cervical disc, occurs when one of the discs in the neck region (cervical spine) becomes damaged and presses on the nearby spinal nerves. This often results in severe neck pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arms – a condition called cervical radiculopathy.

Our patient had been suffering from these debilitating symptoms, which did not respond to conservative treatment methods like medications or physiotherapy. After careful evaluation, artificial disc replacement surgery was recommended.

 

What Is Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement?

Artificial cervical disc replacement is an advanced, motion-preserving spine surgery. Instead of fusing two vertebrae, which can limit mobility, the damaged disc is replaced with a prosthetic (artificial) disc that mimics the natural disc’s movement and function.

This minimally invasive spine procedure offers several benefits:

Immediate relief from nerve compression

Preservation of neck mobility

Reduced risk of adjacent segment degeneration (a common complication of spinal fusion)

Faster recovery and return to normal activities
