Surgical Treatment (Microsurgery)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"24\">If the patient experiences loss of dexterity in the hands (such as inability to button a shirt), severe weakness in the arms, or persistent severe pain despite treatment, surgical intervention is required.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"25\" class=\"translation-block\">In cervical disc herniation surgeries, the <b>microsurgical<\/b> method (Anterior Cervical Microdiscectomy) is used. Access is gained through a very small incision made in the front of the neck, over the natural skin folds. Under a microscope, the herniated disc compressing the nerve is removed. Special cages or movable prostheses that maintain the height of the spine are placed in the empty disc space.<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"26\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"26,0,0\">This method minimizes the risk of spinal cord injury.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"26,1,0\">The patient gets up a few hours after surgery and is discharged the next day.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"26,2,0\">The scar is almost invisible cosmetically because it remains in the neck crease.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"27\">\n<p data-path-to-node=\"28\" class=\"translation-block\">Your hands and arms are your most important connection to life. <b>Cervical disc herniation<\/b> can lead to permanent nerve damage and loss of strength if left untreated. Rather than waiting for it to \u201cgo away,\u201d taking symptoms such as numbness and loss of strength seriously and consulting a spine surgeon is the safest way to protect your health.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"translation-block\">Spending the whole day staring at a computer screen, constantly bending our heads over smartphones...
