Microdiscectomy Spine Surgery – Advanced Minimally Invasive Treatment by Dr. Mukesh Kumar Haritwal
Persistent leg pain, numbness, or weakness caused by a slipped disc can significantly affect your daily life. Microdiscectomy spine surgery is one of the most effective minimally invasive procedures for relieving nerve compression caused by a herniated lumbar disc. If you are looking for an experienced spine surgeon, Dr. Mukesh Kumar Haritwal offers advanced surgical care with a patient-focused approach and excellent clinical outcomes.
What is Microdiscectomy Spine Surgery?
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive spinal procedure performed to remove the portion of a herniated or slipped disc that is pressing on a spinal nerve. Using a surgical microscope and specialized instruments, the surgeon makes a small incision, minimizing damage to surrounding muscles and tissues while ensuring precise decompression of the affected nerve.
This technique provides faster recovery, less postoperative pain, and a shorter hospital stay compared to traditional open spine surgery.
When is Microdiscectomy Recommended?
Your spine specialist may recommend microdiscectomy if you experience:
- Persistent lower back pain with leg pain (Sciatica)
- Herniated or slipped lumbar disc
- Numbness or tingling in the legs
- Muscle weakness due to nerve compression
- Difficulty walking or standing for long periods
- Symptoms that do not improve with medication, physiotherapy, or injections
