Lumbar Discectomy may be considered when a herniated lumbar disc compresses a nerve root and causes radiating leg pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness. The surgeon removes the displaced disc fragment responsible for the compression, creating additional space around the affected nerve. The procedure can be performed through conventional or minimally invasive techniques, depending on the patient's condition and surgeon's assessment. MRI is commonly used before surgery to confirm the disc herniation and affected spinal level.
