Lumbar spine Microdiscectomy

The operation is performed under general anesthesia.

Miniature incisions 2-3 cm long are made on the skin. Access to the lateral canal is performed by removing part of the ligament, freeing the place of exit of nerve roots. During the operation, a special microscope is used to remove an intervertebral hernia (pulpal nucleus or part of it). This allows you to carefully select all the structures that pass close to the nerve roots and remove the problem area. The intervertebral disc is in most cases treated to improve recovery and reduce the risk of recurrence of protrusions or laser hernias.

Then layer-by-layer sutures are applied to the wound and aseptic dressings.

Within 3-5 days the patient is discharged from the clinic, the length of stay is affected by the complexity of the case. For the first 1-2 weeks you can sit for a long time and need to refrain from strenuous exercise. After 3-6 weeks, you can perform physical activity.

The earlier a lumbar intervertebral hernia is diagnosed and a decision is made about surgery, the less traumatic and successful the surgery will be. This has a positive effect on the transaction price.
