About this Procedure
A microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive operation to remove the part of a herniated (slipped) disc that is pressing on a spinal nerve. Using a small incision and a surgical microscope or endoscope, the surgeon moves the nerve gently aside and removes the disc fragment, relieving pressure on the nerve. It is a smaller-incision form of discectomy (diskectomy).
It is usually recommended for people with a herniated disc causing severe leg pain (sciatica) or arm pain, numbness or weakness that has not improved with non-surgical treatment such as medicines, physiotherapy or injections. It is often the procedure of choice for a single-level disc herniation in the lower back. Your surgeon will check that your symptoms match the findings on your MRI scan.
The operation typically takes one to two hours. Depending on your case, it may be done under general anaesthetic or with a local anaesthetic while you are awake but pain-free. A minimally invasive (endoscopic) discectomy is often an outpatient procedure, so many people go home the same day. Recovery generally takes one to four weeks: most people return to light activities after about two weeks and routine activities by about six weeks.
