At Aster Medcity, Artificial Lumbar Disc Replacement is performed using advanced lumbar spine techniques and individualized surgical planning. Established in 2013, the NABH, JCI accredited hospital in Kochi, India has 670 beds and provides comprehensive spinal surgery and rehabilitation services.

Artificial Lumbar Disc Replacement involves removing a damaged lumbar disc and inserting a prosthetic disc into the space between the vertebrae. Unlike spinal fusion, the procedure is designed to preserve movement at the treated spinal level. It may be considered for selected patients with persistent discogenic low back pain related to degenerative disc disease. A detailed assessment, including imaging and evaluation of spinal stability, helps determine suitability for disc replacement.
