University Hospital provides Microdiscectomy using contemporary minimally invasive spine surgery techniques and evidence-based care. Founded in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is based in Basel, Switzerland, with 773 beds and services for domestic and international patients.

During the procedure, the surgeon uses specialised instruments and magnification to access the affected area and remove the disc fragment pressing on the nerve. Microdiscectomy may help relieve sciatica, radiating leg pain, numbness, or weakness associated with nerve compression. The specialist evaluates MRI findings, neurological symptoms, and overall health before surgery.
