Introduction to Microdiscectomy
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove herniated disc material pressing on spinal nerves. It is performed to relieve leg or back pain caused by nerve compression. This surgery uses a small incision and specialized tools to minimize tissue damage and speed recovery.
Surgical Process of Microdiscectomy
During microdiscectomy, the surgeon makes a tiny incision near the affected spine area. A surgical microscope or magnifying loupes are used to visualize the disc and nerve roots clearly. Special instruments such as retractors, curettes, and microforceps remove the herniated disc material carefully. Imaging guidance ensures precise removal while avoiding injury to surrounding tissues. The procedure allows for minimal disruption to muscles and ligaments. Patients typically experience faster recovery and less postoperative pain compared to traditional open discectomy.
When is Microdiscectomy Needed?
- To relieve sciatica or radiating leg pain caused by herniated discs.
- To reduce numbness, tingling, or weakness from compressed spinal nerves.
- To improve mobility and daily function when conservative treatments fail.
- To prevent long-term nerve damage from persistent compression.
