Through Dr. Ahmed El-Ghoul’s clinic, we offer the latest surgical solutions and treatment methods for cervical disc herniation with high precision and advanced techniques to ensure optimal results and symptom improvement.
Cervical disc herniation is the protrusion or displacement of the naturally occurring discs between the cervical vertebrae, causing pressure on the nerve roots or spinal cord. This may result in varying symptoms, including:
Severe neck pain radiating to the shoulder and arms, sometimes reaching the hands
Numbness or weakness in the upper limbs, difficulty holding objects, and reduced hand control
Pain and numbness in all four limbs and muscle spasms in the hands and legs
Continuous spasms in all four limbs that may interfere with walking and movement
Advanced cases may experience quadriplegia
In some cases, difficulty controlling urination and bowel movements
It is scientifically known that approximately 80% of cervical disc herniation cases do not require surgery. Simple non-surgical measures may be sufficient to improve symptoms, such as weight reduction, exercise, avoiding heavy lifting, and modifying harmful daily habits, including carrying heavy objects on the shoulder or back, prolonged use of mobile phones or tablets, and poor sleeping positions.
Additionally, some medications may help relieve symptoms, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, nerve pain medications, muscle relaxants for the neck, and B-complex vitamin supplements. However, in specific cases, surgical intervention is necessary, and microscopic surgery is always the preferred option for the following reasons:
Small surgical incision (2–3 cm) leaving a minimal scar
High magnification view of nerves and tissues
Precise removal of the herniated disc portion
Placement of an artificial disc cage
Reduced bleeding during surgery
Success rates up to 95%
Discharge from the hospital within one day
Return to normal activities 7–10 days after surgery
