Additional information
This procedure is performed using a minimally invasive microsurgical technique for lumbar disc herniation. The approach allows targeted removal of the herniated disc while preserving surrounding tissues and spinal stability. In the absence of spinal instability, instrumentation is typically not required. The minimally invasive technique supports faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, and early mobilization.
