Discectomy involves removing a portion of a herniated disc that compresses a nerve.

Conditions Treated:

Herniated discs causing nerve compression and related symptoms are addressed with discectomy.

Equipment Used:

Surgical instruments, microscopes, and imaging tools are essential for discectomy.

Procedure:

Orthopedic surgeons access the spine, identify the herniated disc, and remove the affected portion to alleviate nerve pressure.

Recovery Time:

Recovery duration varies but is often shorter compared to more extensive spinal surgeries.
