Lumbar Microdiscectomy

Lumbar Microdiscectomy is the most common and highly successful outpatient spine surgery for patients suffering from severe sciatica. When the soft inner core of a spinal disc pushes through its tough outer shell (herniation), it directly crushes the sciatic nerve root. This causes unbearable, radiating pain down the buttocks and legs. India is a top destination for this because Indian spine centers utilize the latest Leica/Zeiss surgical microscopes to perform the surgery through a micro-incision, ensuring natural spinal mobility is preserved without the need for screws or rods.
