What is Lumbar Discectomy and Laminectomy?
These procedures are used to address specific conditions causing back pain. In the case of a lumbar microdiscectomy, a small incision is made in the back to access the compressed nerves. Through microsurgical techniques, the surgeon removes the herniated disc or bone spurs causing the nerve compression. This procedure typically takes around 45 minutes to an hour, with minimal blood loss.
