What is Microdiscectomy?
Microdiscectomy is the term applied for minimally invasive surgical procedures on the spine, including the cervical and lumbar spines. With the aid of an operating microscope, small incisions and precise surgery is performed to remove abnormal, ruptured discs causing nerve pain. Such surgeries are usually carried out on an “outpatient” basis or with a brief hospital stay. The results for relief of nerve pain are usually excellent.
