Microscopic lumbar discectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by disc herniation in the lower back. The journey to seeking relief from persistent back pain can be overwhelming, but understanding the procedure can empower you to take an informed step towards healing. Through microscopic lumbar discectomy, many individuals find the reprieve they’ve been longing for, enabling them to embrace an active lifestyle once again.
At NJ Spine & Orthopedic, we are at the forefront in offering microscopic lumbar discectomy, a procedure characterized by small incisions, reduced tissue damage, and expedited recovery. Our adept surgical team utilizes cutting-edge technology to perform this minimally invasive surgery, ensuring precise removal of the herniated disc material, which in turn alleviates nerve compression and the accompanying pain.
Unveiling Microscopic Lumbar Discectomy
Microscopic lumbar discectomy entails the use of a specialized operating microscope to magnify the surgical field. This magnification allows our surgeons to accurately identify and remove the herniated disc material that is pressing on the spinal nerves. The steps involved in the procedure are:
- A small incision is made over the affected disc.
- Muscles and tissues are gently moved aside to access the spine.
- The microscope is employed to gain a clear view of the herniated disc and surrounding structures.
The herniated portion of the disc is removed, relieving pressure on the spinal nerves.
Post this procedure, the small incision is closed, marking the initiation of your recovery journey. The minimally invasive nature of microscopic lumbar discectomy means lesser post-operative pain and a quicker return to daily activities.
