At Sagrat Cor University Hospital, Anterior Cervical Discectomy is performed using advanced cervical spine techniques and individualized surgical planning. Established in 1970, the accredited hospital in Barcelona, Spain has 323 beds and provides comprehensive neurosurgical and orthopedic spine care.

Anterior Cervical Discectomy may be recommended when a herniated or degenerative disc causes persistent nerve pain, weakness, numbness, or spinal cord compression that does not adequately respond to conservative treatment. Through an anterior neck approach, the surgeon removes the affected disc and relieves pressure on nearby neural structures. A fusion procedure or artificial disc replacement may be performed at the same time when clinically appropriate. Imaging studies help identify the affected spinal level before surgery.
