University Hospital provides specialized Lumbar Discectomy with an emphasis on precise disc fragment removal, effective nerve decompression, and personalized rehabilitation. Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is based in Basel, Switzerland and has 773 beds supported by modern neurosurgical and orthopedic facilities.

Lumbar Discectomy involves removing herniated disc material that is irritating or compressing a nerve root in the lower spine. It is primarily used when symptoms such as sciatica, leg pain, numbness, or weakness are severe or persistent and do not respond sufficiently to conservative care. Before surgery, neurological examination and imaging help identify the affected disc and nerve. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the compressive fragment while limiting disruption to surrounding spinal structures.
