Lumbar Discectomy
What Is Lumbar Discectomy?
A lumbar discectomy is a surgical procedure to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves caused by a herniated or damaged disc in the lower spine. This procedure aims to eliminate pain and restore mobility, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with minimal discomfort.
- Herniated lumbar discs
- Sciatica
- Spinal stenosis
- Degenerative disc disease
- Nerve impingement
The Precision Pain and Spine Institute team utilizes state-of-the-art techniques to ensure a safe and effective procedure with minimal downtime.
What to Expect During Lumbar Discectomy
During the procedure, a small incision is made in the lower back to access the affected disc. Advanced imaging technology guides the surgeon in precisely removing the damaged portion of the disc. This approach minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues and promotes a faster recovery.
Most lumbar discectomy procedures are performed outpatient, allowing patients to return home the same day. Recovery times may vary, but most patients can expect to resume normal activities within a few weeks.
Benefits of Lumbar Discectomy
- Relief from chronic lower back and leg pain
- Improved mobility and function
- Minimally invasive approach with smaller incisions
- Reduced recovery time compared to traditional surgery
