Discectomy

Discectomy

A discectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving pressure on spinal nerves by removing a portion of a herniated or damaged disc in the spine. This intervention is primarily performed to alleviate symptoms associated with disc herniation, such as severe back pain, leg pain (sciatica), numbness, or weakness caused by the compressed nerves. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the back, accessing the affected vertebrae. Through this opening, the surgeon carefully removes the part of the damaged disc that is pressing on the nerves. Various techniques, including traditional open surgery or minimally invasive procedures using specialized instruments, can be employed depending on the specifics of the patient's condition. Discectomies are often considered when conservative treatments like physical therapy or medications fail to alleviate symptoms. The goal of this surgery is to reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from debilitating spinal conditions. Recovery time after a discectomy varies, but rehabilitation and post-operative care are essential for successful outcomes, including proper healing and the prevention of recurrent disc issues.
