Minimally Invasive Lumbar Discectomy is spine surgery procedure that is used to treat a herniated disc in your lower back if all non-surgical methods of treatment fail. During a lumbar discectomy, all or part of the herniated disc in your lower back is removed. At Progressive Spine & Orthopaedics in New Jersey, we use state-of-the-art technology and procedures. And this procedure is no different, involving only a small incision in your lower back to avoid damaging muscles. This also allows you to heal and get back to your normal life faster.
You’ll be relieved of the pain or weakness you’re experiencing in your lower back, hips, buttocks, and legs due to the herniated disc in your lower back. The herniated disc irritates spinal nerves that have roots in the spinal cord near the disc. By removing the herniated disc, the pressure put on the nerve is released and the pain will be relieved.
During the procedure of Minimally Invasive Lumbar Discectomy, Dr. Rovner will begin the surgery by making a small incision in your lower back, where the damaged disc is located. He’ll then temporarily remove muscle from your bone, providing access to the vertebrae surrounding the affected disc.
After that, using state-of-the-art equipment, he’ll remove a small portion of the vertebral bone to gain access to the disc itself. To wrap-up the minimally invasive lumbar discectomy, your experienced New Jersey spine surgeon remove all or part of the herniated disc that is irritating the spinal nerve and causing your pain.
