Microdiscectomy Cost in Singapore

During this procedure, a small part of the bone decompressing the nerve root or the spinal cord is removed to relieve pain arising out of the condition. This procedure is considered to be more effective in the treatment of leg pain or sciatica arising out of compression of nerve root than the lower back pain. This treatment provides immediate relief from pain.

Although microdiscectomy is a neurological procedure, it also involves a highly experienced orthopedic surgeon. There are several hospitals in Singapore that conduct this highly specialized neurosurgery. Microdiscectomy in Singapore is opted by several patients from around the world who suffer from nerve root compression arising out of herniation. This is because of the quality of medical services offered by the hospitals in Singapore and the availability of latest technology and highly qualified doctors.

About the Microdiscectomy

Microdiscectomy, also known as microdecompression or cervical microdiscectomy, is one of the most commonly performed spine surgeries. This procedure is particularly preferred for patients with a lumbar herniated disc. The primary goal of a microdiscectomy is to relieve pressure on a spinal nerve root by removing the material causing the pain.

Traditionally, this was achieved through an open technique called lumbardiscectomy surgery, which involved making a large incision and cutting some of the back muscles, leading to a slow and painful recovery. However, modern advancements have led to the development of microdiscectomy, which achieves the same goal with a smaller incision and minimal injury to the back muscles. Consequently, recovery is quicker and less painful.

During a microdiscectomy, a special microscope is used to view the disc and nerves. This magnified view allows the surgeon to make a smaller incision, causing less damage to the surrounding tissues.

How is Microdiscectomy performed?

The microdiscectomy begins with the administration of general anesthesia, ensuring the patient is unconscious and unable to feel anything during the surgery. Preoperative intravenous antibiotics are given to reduce the risk of infection.

The procedure is performed with the patient lying face down on a special operating table with padding for comfort. The surgical area is cleansed with a sterile solution. A small incision, about one to two centimeters long, is made over the herniated disc area. Special retractors and a lighted operating microscope are used to provide the surgeon with a clear view of the spine, minimizing or avoiding the need to cut adjacent muscles and tissues.

Before removing the herniated disc, a small piece of bone called the lamina is removed from the affected vertebra in a process called a laminotomy. This allows the surgeon to fully visualize the herniated disc. Small scissor-like tools and grasping instruments are then used to remove the protruding disc material.

Finally, the incision area is irrigated with sterile water containing antibiotics, and the deep fascial and subcutaneous layers are closed with sutures. The skin is sealed with special surgical glue, eliminating the need for bandages.

Recovery from Microdiscectomy

Microdiscectomy has a relatively short recovery time compared to other invasive procedures. Generally, patients can expect to leave the hospital within 24 hours after surgery. Before discharge, patients are often advised to meet with a physical therapist. The therapist will provide instructions on how to minimize twisting and bending of the back and may recommend exercises to improve the strength and flexibility of the muscles around the spine.

Patients should avoid driving, sitting for prolonged periods, lifting heavy objects, and bending over immediately after the surgery. While normal activities can generally be resumed after two weeks, patients are advised to refrain from lifting heavy objects for at least four weeks post-surgery. Full recovery from a microdiscectomy procedure typically takes between four to six weeks.
