What Is Lumbar Disc Herniation

A lumbar disc herniation occurs when the soft centre of an intervertebral disc bulges or protrudes through its outer ring and presses on nearby nerve roots leading to radiating leg pain called sciatica numbness or weakness Most cases improve with medicines physiotherapy and time but persistent or severe symptoms with nerve deficit may require surgery to remove the offending disc fragment

Microdiscectomy Procedure

Microdiscectomy is a focused decompression surgery performed through a small incision with magnification where only the part of the disc that is compressing the nerve is removed Muscles are gently separated a small portion of bone and ligament is removed to access the disc and the herniated fragment is carefully excised The rest of the disc is left in place to preserve as much normal structure as possible
