What is a Microdiscectomy?
A microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to remove the herniated portion of a disc that is pressing on a nerve root or the spinal cord. Using a surgical microscope or endoscope, the surgeon makes a small incision (usually 1-2 inches) and removes the disc material through a small opening, preserving the surrounding bone and muscle.
This advanced technique offers significant advantages over traditional open surgery, including less tissue damage, reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery. Microdiscectomy is the gold standard for treating lumbar herniated discs with radiculopathy (sciatica). Doctor247 connects you with experienced neurosurgeons for safe, effective microdiscectomy in Bangalore.
