With modern tools and equipment, cervical disc herniation surgery is patient-friendly and easily tolerated.

The operation involves a small incision on the skin on the anterior surface of the neck. The surgeon then creates access to the damaged vertebral disc of the spine, gradually detaching the surrounding tissue. An x-ray machine is used to verify that the correct vertebral space is being accessed. The damaged disc tissue is removed under microscope guidance and a titanium implant is inserted in its place. The operation wound is closed.
