Microdiscectomy Surgery for Low Back Pain

• Microdiscectomy surgery is performed when you
  have a herniated disk in your spine. The bones
  that form our vertebrae are each supported with
  several discs.
• These small cushion-like bones are coated with an
  outer layer called the annulus. These small disks
  act as the binder in the spine and play the role
  of shock absorbers on behalf of your spine.
• A herniated disc means the dislocation of a
  spinal disc. It means your disc has bulged out of
  the annulus, causing a rupture or damage of the
  annulus.
• Though herniated disc can happen in any part of
  your spine, it mostly occurs in the lower back
  known as the lumbar spine.

  reliable option for treating your herniated disc
  in the lower part of the spine.

  microdiscectomy complications, still it becomes
  inevitable to perform given you have serious back
  pain.
• Discectomy Procedure Steps
• Microdiscectomy surgery is done by giving the
  patient general anaesthesia. This means the
  person undergoing the surgery remains unconscious
  the whole time of the operation.
• As the surgery is being done on your back, the
  patient lays face down. The following are the
  steps of how microdiscectomy surgery is performed
  on a person

• The doctors at first make an 11-12 inches long
  incision on the part where the patient has the
  herniated disc
• A lighted microscope is inserted into the area to
  get the perfect spot and position of that disc
  that is to be operated on.
• With the help of scissors, the doctor will remove
  the damaged tissue over the herniated disc,
  releasing the pressure it was inflicting on the
  nerve
• Lastly, the incision is stitched back together
• You must have a trusted surgeon. Even slight
  misconduct can cost your life. If you are looking

• Microdiscectomy Recovery Pain
• The recovery process of microdiscectomy surgery
  is quite soon. A patient is generally asked to be
  discharged from the hospital within 24 hours of
  the operation.
• It is worthwhile to do certain exercises and
  movements, which are good for your lower back. It
  will be advisable for you to not lift anything
  heavy, sit for a long period, carry heavy things,
  or move hastily, at least for the first 2-4 weeks
  of the surgery. Afterwards, you can resume your
  life as you used to.
• Studies show 85 of the patients who have
  undergone microdiscectomy surgery were able to
  have physical success in the long run.
