Percutaneous LX Discectomy
When a herniated disc continues to irritate the spinal nerve, Percutaneous LX Discectomy offers targeted, minimally invasive relief. The procedure removes disc material through a very small incision while preserving surrounding muscles and ligaments. Our expert team performs this technique with advanced imaging for safer, faster recovery.

What Happens During a Percutaneous LX Discectomy?
1. Detailed Pre-Procedure Evaluation
Range-of-motion assessments, MRI review, and sometimes EMG nerve testing confirm the exact level and severity of compression.
2. Local Anesthesia With Light Sedation
Most patients remain comfortable and relaxed without the need for general anesthesia.
3. Needle-Based Access to the Disc
A thin cannula is guided into the disc through a tiny puncture. Imaging ensures perfect placement.
4. Disc Material Removal
The LX device removes the herniated nucleus material, relieving nerve pressure through a controlled, minimally invasive technique.
5. Quick Recovery
Most procedures take 15–30 minutes. Patients walk out the same day with no stitches and minimal restrictions.
Recovery After Percutaneous LX Discectomy
- Many patients experience immediate reduction in leg pain
- Most resume light activity within 24 hours
- Return to work varies between 2–7 days, depending on job demands
