University Hospital provides specialized Anterior Cervical Discectomy with an emphasis on precise nerve decompression, preservation of cervical spine function, and personalized surgical care. Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is based in Basel, Switzerland and has 773 beds supported by modern neurosurgical and orthopedic facilities.

Anterior Cervical Discectomy is a minimally invasive-access approach to removing a problematic cervical disc from the front of the neck. It may be used when disc degeneration or herniation causes persistent pain, numbness, weakness, or symptoms related to spinal cord compression. After disc removal, the surgeon may insert a spacer and bone graft to achieve fusion or place an artificial disc in selected patients. Recovery typically involves monitoring neurological function, managing neck discomfort, and gradually returning to normal activities under medical guidance.
