Minimally invasive microdisectomy
A minimally invasive discectomy ensures that no muscles are damaged during the process, reduces back and leg pain, and offers short recovery time. During the procedure, an orthopedic surgeon takes out material from a herniated disk, which presses on the spinal nerve. Herniated disks can be the cause of numbness, pain ,and loss of strength, as well as many other symptoms.
All surgical treatments carry some risks, nevertheless, minimally invasive techniques are able to minimize them by allowing the surgeon a better view of the area. Smaller incisions can be made through a laparoscopic microscope, which helps to prevent infections, cutting through muscles, having too many sutures to close the incision site.
