Disc Surgery (Discectomy)

Overview

Disc surgery, also known as discectomy, is a surgical procedure to remove herniated or damaged disc material that is pressing on nerve roots or the spinal cord. This procedure relieves pain, numbness, and weakness caused by disc herniation.

Modern disc surgery includes microdiscectomy, endoscopic discectomy, and minimally invasive techniques. Most procedures are performed as outpatient surgery with faster recovery times.
