Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive technique where the microscope is used to perform the surgery. It involves the use of special surgical instruments, devices, and advanced imaging techniques to visualize and perform the surgery through such small incisions. It is used to treat nerve compression caused by herniated or prolapsed discs and can alleviate symptoms such as numbness, weakness, tingling, prickling, and sciatic pain in the buttock and down the leg. Minimally invasive techniques that we use offer advantages over traditional open surgery that include a smaller incision, less tissue trauma, less scarring, reduced risk of complications, lower chance of infection, reduced pain, and quicker recovery.
