Our services
Endoscopic Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (Endoscopic ACDF)
Endoscopic ACDF is a surgical procedure used to treat severe cervical disc degeneration or disc herniation in the neck. When the disc becomes too damaged to absorb shock or herniates and compresses the spinal nerves, it can cause radiating pain down the arms and hands, significantly affecting daily life.
Recognizing Symptoms of Cervical Disc Herniation
Chronic Neck Pain
A constant stiffness or aching in the neck, especially during neck movements like bending, tilting, or turning.
Numbness or Tingling in Arms and Hands
Tingling or electric shock-like sensations may radiate from the neck to the shoulder, arms, or fingers.
Dizziness or Balance Issues
Some patients may experience vertigo or balance problems, especially after prolonged walking.
Diagnosis of Cervical Disc Herniation
At S Spine & Joint Hospital, a leading spine and joint specialist center, we focus on identifying the root cause before proceeding with treatment. Patients who show signs of cervical disc herniation will undergo a detailed clinical assessment, including X-ray and MRI, to evaluate the extent of disc damage or herniation, as well as the compressed spinal nerves. This ensures that the selected treatment plan is highly accurate and effective.
Treatment Technique
We distinguish ourselves through our exclusive “S-Quality” standard at S Spine & Joint Hospital — a comprehensive care model built on three essential pillars:
🎯 Specialist Physicians Our board-certified spine specialists are trained in accordance with hospital-standardized treatment protocols, ensuring consistent and high-quality care.
🎯 Experienced Clinical Support Team Our skilled support staff possess deep understanding of spinal treatments and collaborate seamlessly with doctors—helping shorten treatment time and enhance care efficiency.
🎯 ShapeAdvanced Spine-Specific Technology We utilize cutting-edge technology purpose-built for spinal care, including leading surgical equipment from around the world. The absence of any of these key components can negatively affect treatment outcomes.
ขั้นตอนการรักษา
We use cutting-edge technologies designed specifically for spinal treatment, such as world-class surgical tools and open MRI systems that can shift between lying and standing positions. This enables high-precision diagnosis and faster, more effective treatment. Missing any one of these components can affect overall treatment efficiency.
Identifying the Cause
Diagnosis begins with posture-specific X-rays and upright MRI scans to evaluate abnormalities in cervical discs. Physicians combine both sets of images for a highly accurate assessment.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Patients receive guidelines for pre-procedure preparation, such as fasting or disclosing medical history and allergies. A detailed physical examination is also conducted.
Endoscopic ACDF Surgery
Using a minimally invasive approach through the front of the neck, the surgeon removes the damaged cervical disc with the Endoscopic ACDF technique. Spinal fusion is then performed to restore stability and safety, allowing for faster recovery and a quicker return to normal life.
Follow-Up and Recovery
After the treatment, the doctor and a team of specialists will continuously monitor the treatment results and evaluate the patient’s condition to ensure that the pain has decreased and no complications occur. The patient stays in the hospital for only one night and can return to normal daily life.
