Perhaps the most anticipated advance in spine surgery over the past 20 years was the arrival of the artificial disc. Centers for Artificial Disc is the only verified national listing of spine centers that specialize in artificial disc replacement surgery. These centers are on the forefront of scientific and technological advances in the area of motion preservation for the spine.

Dr. Jatana also provides other specialized neck surgeries that aren’t typically provided by other Colorado spine surgeons. Unlike many neck surgeries that involve fusion, where two vertebrae are locked together, the cervical Laminoforaminotomy procedure avoids fusing the neck vertebrae. This retains the natural movement in the neck. While “motion preservation” is the goal of most surgeries, most spine surgeons are not able to do a Laminoforaminotomy because of the experience needed. “Because most spine surgeons divide their time between neck surgery and low back surgery, they don’t gain the proficiency in this particular neck surgery,” explains Dr. Jatana. “Also, this neck surgery requires use of a microscope and the use of small 1mm and 2mm instruments to repair the damaged disc rather than removing all of the disc and replacing it with a fusion and metal instrumentation."

The human spine is able to bend and flex due to the soft compressible cushions between the vertebrae known as intervertebral discs. Discs are located in the neck region (cervical), upper back (thoracic) and lower back (lumbar). Most disc herniations occur due to repetitive injuries, genetics, and normal aging. Only one-third of disc herniations are due to a particular injury. When the disc herniation presses against a spinal nerve or the spinal cord, the compression of spinal nerve roots can cause numbness and weakness of the affected muscles along the pathway of the pinched nerve. When spine surgery is necessary, Dr. Jatana uses minimally invasive spine surgery techniques and is trained in the use of advanced robotic spine technology. He is proficient in the use of four different artificial discs that help patients relieve pain symptoms and get back to activity. This spine surgery expertise enables many patients to have outpatient spine surgery and be home the same day.

Dr. Sanjay Jatana is featured by CentersforArtificialDisc.com, a national listing of spine surgeons who specialize in artificial disc replacement and are trained in the use of the most current FDA-approved artificial discs for motion preservation that reduce the risk of future herniations caused by fusion. In disc replacement surgery, a tiny artificial disc is inserted in the disc space which enables the neck to retain movement. This is called motion preservation surgery, which requires advanced training and approval by the companies that manufacture the artificial disc. Unlike other spine surgeons who are trained in only one type of artificial disc, Dr. Jatana is trained and proficient in the use of the FOUR most popular FDA-approved artificial discs.

If you have back or neck pain, you are not alone. It’s estimated that over time 4 out of 5 adults will have an episode of back or neck pain. While many of these cases can be simple back or neck strain that can resolve over time with spine therapy and other non-surgical treatment options like spinal injections, other problems can be caused by herniated discs, stenosis and fractures that require surgery to relieve symptoms. Degenerative disc disease is a weakening of one or more vertebral discs, which normally act as a cushion between the vertebrae. Discs can degenerate as a natural part of the aging process but may also result from injury. A herniated disc occurs when the soft, jelly-like material from inside the disc (nucleus) protrudes outside and through the outer ring (annulus) and compresses the spinal cord and nerve roots. Dr. Jatana evaluates the patient to determine all your treatment options in advance of spine surgery.

Non-fusion option #2: Cervical Laminoplasty

Like the Cervical Laminoforaminotomy, this surgery is also performed through the back of the neck and is intended to retain the natural movement of the neck after surgery. The surgery involves great proficiency and the use of a microscope. Within a laminoplasty surgery, a small portion of the bony part of the spinal canal (lamina) is removed to enlarge the spinal canal, thereby relieving symptoms of nerve root compression. By enlarging the spinal canal, it can relieve symptoms of radiating pain or weakness or numbness in the arm or hand. The difference between a laminectomy and a laminoplasty is that more of the lamina is left in place in a laminoplasty procedure. Also in a laminoplasty, the trained neck surgeon leaves more of the normal bone and ligaments intact, and provides a protective layer that lessens scar tissue formation on the dural sac after surgery.
