A microdiscectomy is a surgical treatment that removes pressure from the spinal nerves produced by a herniated disc in the lumbar spine. It is a minimally invasive surgical method used to remove a piece of the herniated disc material that is pushing on the spinal nerves, relieving symptoms such as leg pain, numbness, or paralysis.
Microdiscectomy is an extremely efficient treatment for lumbar spine problems caused by a herniated disc, such as sciatica or radiculopathy.
