University Hospital offers dedicated Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery supported by experienced spine surgeons, advanced imaging, and modern artificial disc technology. Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is situated in Basel, Switzerland and has 773 beds supporting specialized cervical spine care.

Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery is designed to treat selected cervical disc problems while avoiding intentional fusion of the treated vertebrae. The surgeon accesses the cervical spine through a small incision in the front of the neck, removes the damaged disc, and decompresses the affected neural structures when necessary. A prosthetic disc is placed into the prepared disc space to restore appropriate height and preserve motion. Postoperative care may include activity modification, pain management, physiotherapy, and follow-up imaging.
