Formazione accademica

Thierry Marnay’s name is inseparable from modern lumbar disc replacement: he is listed as the inventor of Prodisc® L and a spinal surgeon at CCV Montpellier (operated at Clinique du Parc). The clinic he founded in 1994 has become the home base for disc replacement and spinal surgery, with SpinePro acting as the access route for eligible international patients. Through SpinePro, patients can receive a surgical prognosis within 10 days of completing their online assessment, and the stay is supported by an English-speaking patient manager during the hospital period.

Clinique du Parc provides the environment for this pathway, with 220 beds and 200 doctors treating more than 30,000 hospitalised patients every year. SpinePro coordinates the full journey for international patients, including flights, local transfers, admission to CCV for surgery, and post-operative recuperation in partner hotels with daily nursing care and physiotherapy.

Marnay’s technical focus is spinal disc replacement and lumbar spine arthroplasty. He is associated with Prodisc® L total lumbar disc replacement and ProDisc II as part of the broader disc replacement approach. The ProDisc platform was developed by Marnay in the late 1980s, which is why the clinic’s disc replacement programme is built around his work.
