A Microdiscectomy is a surgical procedure used to treat a herniated or slipped disc in the spine. During the procedure, a small incision is made in the back, and a special microscope is used to remove the portion of the herniated disc that is pressing on the nerves or spinal cord, thereby relieving pain and reducing inflammation.
Microdiscectomy is primarily used to treat conditions such as herniated lumbar discs, sciatica, and radiculopathy, where the herniated disc is causing nerve compression and related symptoms.
Patients typically stay in the hospital for a short period of time following a Microdiscectomy for observation. The recovery process entails gradually returning to normal activities under the supervision of a physical therapist. For a few weeks following surgery, patients may experience soreness and restrictions on bending, lifting, and twisting. Most patients can resume light activities after a few weeks and full activities after a few months. However, the specific recovery timeline varies depending on individual factors and the extent of the surgery.
