University Hospital provides specialized Artificial Lumbar Disc Replacement with an emphasis on precise disc removal, motion preservation, and personalized spinal care. Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is based in Basel, Switzerland and has 773 beds supported by modern neurosurgical and orthopedic facilities.

Artificial Lumbar Disc Replacement is a surgical alternative to fusion for certain patients with symptomatic lumbar disc disease. The procedure removes the damaged disc and replaces it with a prosthetic device that is designed to support the vertebral segment while allowing controlled movement. Before surgery, specialists evaluate symptoms, spinal alignment, disc degeneration, bone health, and other factors that may affect the outcome. Postoperative follow-up helps monitor healing, implant positioning, mobility, and the patient's return to normal activities.
