DISCECTOMY

A discectomy is a targeted spine procedure performed to relieve pressure on a nerve caused by a slipped, bulging, or herniated disc.

When a disc presses on a nearby nerve, it can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arm or leg. A discectomy removes only the portion of the disc that is compressing the nerve, while preserving the rest of the spine.

How the procedure works

  1. A small incision is made near the affected area of the spine
  2. Muscles are gently moved aside to reach the spine
  3. The compressed nerve is identified and protected
  4. The portion of the disc pressing on the nerve is carefully removed
  5. Normal nerve space is restored, reducing pain and irritation

In many cases, no fusion or implants are required.

Why patients choose DISCECTOMY

  1. Effective relief of nerve-related pain
  2. Preserves most of the natural disc and spinal movement
  3. Minimally invasive approach in suitable cases
  4. Shorter surgery and recovery time compared to fusion procedures
  5. Widely used and well-established technique

Safety

Discectomy is a commonly performed and well-proven spine procedure. When carried out by experienced spine surgeons, it has a strong safety profile and delivers reliable symptom relief for appropriately selected patients.

SUMMARY

Discectomy removes the source of nerve pressure while preserving the natural structure of the spine—helping patients return to comfort and function.
