An orthopedic and spine surgeon at SpineMD, Dr. Anil Kesani earned his MD from Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine. His video on causes, diagnosis, and treatment options for neck pain is available at youtube.com/watch?v=yWR47cScyE0. Dr. Anil Kumar Kesani has successfully carried out motion-preserving spine surgery procedures such as stem cell treatment and disc replacement.
Motion preservation spine surgery (MPSS) is an approach that treats degenerative spinal disc disorders without involving spinal fusion. Used to treat conditions such as spinal disc degeneration, spinal fusion restricts movement in the spine by fusing two or more vertebrae. This can alleviate pain caused by such movement.
MPSS takes less time compared to traditional open spinal surgeries and allows for faster recovery. It offers patients options other than spinal fusion, such as disc replacement surgery. Similar to standard hip or knee replacement, disc replacement surgery treats patients with a seriously damaged (degenerated) disc by replacing the defective disc with an artificial one. The artificial disc restores flexibility and movement to the affected area by mimicking a healthy disc.
