The cost of cervical disc replacement surgery in India typically ranges from $6,500 to $8,500, making it an affordable option for patients seeking advanced spine care abroad. Cervical disc replacement, also known as cervical disc arthroplasty, is an advanced spinal procedure performed to treat chronic neck pain, cervical disc degeneration, herniated discs, and nerve compression while preserving natural neck movement.

Unlike traditional spinal fusion, this procedure involves replacing the damaged disc with a high-quality artificial disc, allowing continued motion at the treated spinal level and reducing stress on adjacent vertebrae. This often results in quicker recovery and better long-term mobility.

India has become a preferred destination for cervical disc replacement medical tourism due to its experienced spine surgeons, availability of FDA-approved artificial discs, and modern spine centers. Patients benefit from faster recovery, sustained pain relief, and excellent surgical outcomes often at significantly lower costs than in Western countries without compromising safety or quality.

Cost of Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery in India

Types of Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery	Treatment Cost In USD
Metal-on-Metal Cervical Disc Replacement (eg: ProDisc-C) Metal-on-metal cervical disc replacements, such as the ProDisc-C, feature metal endplates and a metal core to replicate natural spinal motion. Designed for durability and reduced wear, they provide stability while maintaining flexibility. However, concerns include potential metal ion release and long-term effects on surrounding tissues.	$6800–$7800
Metal-on-Polymer Cervical Disc Replacement (eg: Mobi-C) Metal-on-polymer cervical disc replacements, like the Mobi-C, feature metal endplates with a polyethylene core to replicate natural spinal motion. This design reduces wear and metal ion release compared to metal-on-metal discs while maintaining flexibility and load distribution. They offer a balance of durability and biocompatibility for cervical disc arthroplasty.	$6500-$7400
Ceramic-on-Polymer Cervical Disc Replacement (eg: Secure-C) Ceramic-on-polymer cervical disc replacements, such as the Secure-C, pair a ceramic component with a polyethylene core to combine durability with reduced wear. The ceramic’s hardness minimizes debris, while the polymer ensures smooth articulation, providing a biocompatible option that balances longevity and natural spinal motion.	$7400–$8400

Types of Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery

Metal-on-Polymer Disc Replacement

Designed to closely mimic natural disc motion while reducing wear, commonly used for single or two-level disc disease.

Metal-on-Metal Disc Replacement

Provides strong durability and stability with long-term outcomes, suitable for active patients.

Ceramic-on-Polymer Disc Replacement

Offers improved wear characteristics and smooth articulation, often selected for younger patients.

How Much Does Cervical Disc Replacement Cost in India?

For most international patients, the complete cervical disc replacement package, including surgeon fees, anesthesia, artificial disc implant, hospital stay, and routine medications, ranges from USD 6,500 to USD 8,500.

What Is Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery?

Cervical disc replacement involves removing the damaged disc from the neck and replacing it with an artificial disc. This relieves nerve compression while maintaining spinal motion, reducing the risk of adjacent segment degeneration often seen with fusion surgeries.

How the Cervical Disc Replacement Procedure Works

Detailed MRI and pre-surgical planning
Small anterior (front-of-neck) incision
Removal of degenerated disc
Placement of artificial cervical disc
Closure and post-operative monitoring

The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours.

Who Needs Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery?

Cervical disc replacement is recommended for patients with:

Cervical degenerative disc disease (C3–C7)
Herniated cervical discs causing arm pain or numbness
Failure of conservative treatment for 6+ weeks
Cervical radiculopathy or mild myelopathy
Good bone quality and spinal stability
Age typically between 18–60 years

Final eligibility is confirmed after spine specialist evaluation.

Benefits of Cervical Disc Replacement

Preserves spinal range of motion
Faster recovery than spinal fusion
Reduced risk of adjacent disc degeneration
Improved posture and mobility
High success and patient satisfaction rates
