Microdiscectomy in India

Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive or limited-incision procedure used to remove the portion of a herniated spinal disc that compresses a nerve. It is commonly performed in the lumbar spine to treat selected cases of sciatica and radiating leg pain. Magnification and specialized instruments help the surgeon work around delicate neural structures. The procedure aims to relieve nerve irritation while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues. Recovery varies, and patients receive guidance on movement, lifting, rehabilitation, and warning signs that require medical review.
