Cervical Disc Prolapse Surgery: Treatment & Solutions | Dr. Komal Prasad C

Cervical Disc Prolapse is a condition affecting the neck (cervical spine), where one of the discs between the vertebrae in the cervical spine bulges out, causing pressure on the surrounding nerves. This can result in pain, numbness, and even paralysis in severe cases. The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and C7) which are connected by facet joints. The discs between these vertebrae act as cushions and provide flexibility to the neck. In this video, Dr. Komal Prasad C, Senior Consultant in Neurosurgery at Mazumdar Shaw Medical Center, Bommasandra, Bangalore, provides a comprehensive explanation of Cervical Disc Prolapse, its symptoms, and the most effective treatments, including surgical interventions and artificial disc replacement. Key Points Covered in the Video: 1. What is Cervical Disc Prolapse? Cervical disc prolapse, also known as a slipped disc in the neck, occurs when the soft inner core of the disc pushes out through the tough outer layer. This can put pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or tingling sensations down the arms, neck, or shoulders. Common symptoms include neck pain, radiating pain in the arms, weakness, numbness, and loss of coordination. 2. Causes of Cervical Disc Prolapse: Age-related degeneration: As we age, the discs lose their flexibility and become more prone to damage. Trauma or injury: A sudden impact or fall can cause a disc to slip. Repetitive stress: Regular neck movements, especially from improper posture, can contribute to disc damage. 3. Treatment Options: Conservative Treatments: In mild cases, treatment may begin with pain medications, physical therapy, and cervical traction. Surgical Interventions: If the pain and symptoms persist despite conservative treatments, surgery may be required. Surgical options include: Discectomy: Removal of the damaged disc material. Spinal Fusion: Connecting the two vertebrae together after the removal of the damaged disc. Artificial Disc Replacement: A newer method that involves replacing the damaged disc with an artificial one to preserve the neck's range of motion. 4. Artificial Disc Replacement: Artificial disc surgery involves replacing the damaged disc with an artificial one, helping to restore normal function and prevent future problems. This procedure is ideal for patients with severe cervical disc prolapse who still need a functional neck. 5. Recovery and Rehabilitation: After surgery, most patients experience significant improvement in their symptoms. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in rehabilitation, helping restore strength and flexibility to the neck and surrounding muscles. Importance of Early Diagnosis and Treatment: Early intervention can prevent further nerve damage and improve recovery chances. The longer a cervical disc prolapse goes untreated, the more difficult it can be to treat and the higher the risk of permanent nerve damage. Dr. Komal Prasad emphasizes the importance of consulting with a specialist like a neurosurgeon for proper diagnosis and treatment if you're experiencing symptoms of a cervical disc prolapse. Consultation and Treatment: If you or someone you know is dealing with neck pain, cervical disc issues, or radiculopathy, it is essential to seek professional medical advice to determine the best treatment plan.
