Preserving Natural Spine Mobility & Function
The modern alternative to spinal fusion. Dr. Arun Saroha specializes in motion-preserving artificial disc technology for patients in Kolkata.
Traditionally, chronic back and neck pain caused by disc degeneration were treated with spinal fusion. While effective, fusion eliminates movement between the vertebrae. For active residents of Kolkata, Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR) represents the next frontier in spinal neurosurgery. Dr. Arun Saroha utilizes state-of-the-art prosthetic discs that mimic the natural fluid movement of the human spine, allowing you to maintain full range of motion.
The primary advantage of disc replacement for our Kolkata patients is the reduction of "Adjacent Segment Disease." By preserving movement at the operated level, we prevent the "domino effect" where the discs above and below the surgery site wear out prematurely. This motion-preserving approach is ideal for people who wish to return to high-impact activities, sports, or demanding professional lives without the limitations of a stiffened back or neck.
Dr. Saroha performs both Cervical and Lumbar replacements for Kolkata patients:
We utilize the highest-grade artificial discs available globally (ProDisc, M6, or Mobi-C). These implants are constructed from medical-grade cobalt-chrome and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, designed to last a lifetime.
Implants designed to mimic the natural compression and rebounding of a real spinal disc.
Specialized coatings that promote bone "in-growth" for a permanent, secure fit.
Preserving all 6 degrees of natural movement (rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending).
One of the most exciting aspects of disc replacement for our Kolkata patients is the rapid recovery. Because we do not have to wait for bones to "fuse" together, rehab begins almost immediately. Most patients are discharged within 24–48 hours and are encouraged to walk and move their necks or backs naturally from day one.
Dr. Saroha's precise surgical technique ensures minimal blood loss and minimal disruption to the surrounding soft tissues. By the time you return to your beautiful home in Kolkata, the healing process is well underway, and most patients report an immediate "lightening" or disappearance of the chronic nerve pain they had suffered from for years.
Premium artificial disc technologies customized to your unique spinal anatomy.
Treating chronic neck and arm pain while preserving natural rotation. The top choice for professionals in Kolkata who need to maintain full neck movement.
The modern alternative to lumbar fusion for chronic lower back pain. Restoring disc height and stability for active Kolkata residents.
Specialized procedures for patients in Kolkata who have degeneration at two levels, preserving motion across a larger segment of the spine.
Combining disc replacement and fusion in a single surgery to address differing pathologies at adjacent levels for complex Kolkata cases.
Utilizing corridors as small as 2cm to place artificial discs, minimizing muscle trauma and scaring for patients in Kolkata.
Complete pre-surgical optimization for Patients in Kolkata, including DXA scans for bone density and physical conditioning.
Modern artificial discs are designed and lab-tested to last 40+ years without mechanical failure, making them a permanent solution for most patients in Kolkata.
Yes. Many of our patients in Kolkata return to sports like golf, swimming, and cycling within 3 months, as the disc replacement preserves the natural flexibility needed for these activities.
Both are safe, but ADR has a lower rate of "adjacent segment disease" (wear in neighboring discs). Dr. Saroha will explain which is safer for your specific bone quality in Kolkata.
Patients in Kolkata with osteoporosis or severe osteopenia may be better candidates for fusion, as artificial discs require strong bone for permanent fixation.
Typically, a single-level cervical replacement takes 45-60 minutes, while a lumbar replacement takes 90-120 minutes. It is a highly efficient procedure for our Kolkata surgical team.
The small amount of medical-grade titanium and cobalt-chrome in the disc typically does not trigger standard security sensors. We can provide a medical card for your travels from Kolkata.
With Dr. Saroha's precise anatomical fitting and the specialized coatings that allow bone to fuse into the device, displacement is extremely rare (under 0.5%) for Kolkata patients.
Yes. If you have been told you need a fusion, Dr. Saroha can provide a definitive second opinion on whether you qualify for motion-preserving replacement in Kolkata.
