Microdiscectomy

Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes the damaged portion of a herniated disc to relieve nerve compression and pain.

• Minimally invasive technique – Uses small incisions for reduced recovery time. 

• Partial disc removal – Only the affected portion of the disc is removed, preserving spinal stability. 

• Effective for sciatic pain – Often used to treat sciatica caused by lumbar disc herniation. 
   

Microdiscectomy is recommended for individuals experiencing severe nerve-related pain that has not improved with conservative treatments.

• Herniated or bulging discs – Causing nerve compression in the spine. 

• Sciatica or radiculopathy – Pain radiating down the leg due to nerve irritation. 

• Persistent lower back pain – That worsens with movement or sitting. 

• Weakness or numbness in the legs – Caused by nerve compression in the lumbar spine. 
   

Microdiscectomy is one of the most effective procedures for relieving leg and lower back pain caused by herniated discs.

• Rapid pain relief – Many patients experience immediate improvement in nerve pain. 

• Minimally invasive benefits – Smaller incisions result in less scarring and a faster recovery. 

• Improved mobility – Reduces nerve compression and restores function. 

• Long-term success – High patient satisfaction rates with lasting pain relief. 
   

Microdiscectomy is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.

• Small incision – A tiny cut is made near the affected vertebra. 

• Disc material removal – The herniated portion of the disc is carefully extracted. 

• Nerve decompression – Pressure on the spinal nerves is relieved. 

• Short recovery time – Most patients return home within hours of surgery and return to light activities within a few weeks.
