Lenmed Ahmed Kathrada Private Hospital offers specialised Microdiscectomy using modern surgical technology and established minimally invasive spine treatment protocols. Established in 1984, the COHSASA, ISQua accredited hospital is situated in Johannesburg, South Africa, with 254 beds, serving local and international patients.

Microdiscectomy is primarily used to treat symptoms caused by herniated discs and nerve compression. Through a small surgical opening, the specialist removes the portion of the disc pressing against the nerve to relieve pressure. Before treatment, the spine team reviews imaging, neurological findings, medical history, and symptom severity to determine whether microdiscectomy is appropriate.
