Discectomy
Spinal Surgery Procedures
A discectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove part or all of a herniated (ruptured) disc in the spine that is compressing nearby nerves. The goal of this surgery is to alleviate pain, weakness, numbness, and other symptoms resulting from nerve compression due to the herniated disc.
Procedure Steps
Incision
A small incision is made over the affected disc.
Access and Visualization
In traditional open discectomy, the surgeon carefully moves aside muscles and tissues to access the spine and directly visualize the disc.
In microdiscectomy, specialized tools, along with a microscope or endoscope, enhance visualization through a smaller incision.
Removal of Disc Material
The surgeon removes the portion of the disc that is pressing on the nerve root. This may involve excising the herniated part or, if necessary, removing the entire disc.
Closure
The incision is closed using stitches or surgical staples.
