Patients may choose from microscopic or endoscopic techniques based on their condition.
About the Procedure
Discectomy removes herniated disc material pressing on spinal nerves. The hospital provides pre-op tests including 1 mm MRI scans and muscle-strength analysis. Most patients walk the same day after surgery. A 3-night hospital stay is included in the base package.
