Lumbar disc disease can limit movement, increase daily discomfort, and make long-term relief feel out of reach. Advanced disc replacement treatments can restore motion while addressing pain at its source. The prodisc® L Anterior Lumbar Total Disc Replacement offers an alternative to traditional fusion for properly selected patients. It preserves natural spinal movement and supports lasting function.
Saville Spine Institute in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, is a recognized leader in motion-preserving spine care, led by board-certified spine surgeon Dr. Philip Saville. With deep experience in minimally invasive and disc replacement procedures, the Institute offers the prodisc L — the only lumbar disc replacement system in the U.S. approved for two-level use— delivered with precision, expertise, and patient-focused care.
What is prodisc L Anterior Lumbar Total Disc Replacement?
The prodisc L Anterior Lumbar Total Disc Replacement is a motion-preserving surgical procedure used to treat damaged lumbar discs that cause chronic lower back pain. It involves removing the affected disc through a small anterior (front) incision and replacing it with the prodisc L implant, an FDA-approved artificial disc designed to maintain natural spinal movement. This approach can relieve pain while avoiding the stiffness commonly associated with spinal fusion in appropriately selected patients.
The Most Studied TDR System in the World
Beginning with clinical usage in 1990, the prodisc design has been validated with over 225,000 device implantations worldwide and more than 540 published papers (PubMed, Embase, Ovid Medline®).
