Discectomy

Back pain can be debilitating. It can keep you from the activities you love, disrupt your sleep, and impact your overall quality of life. If you’ve been struggling with back pain caused by a herniated disc, and conservative treatments haven’t provided relief, it might be time to consider a discectomy.

Your spine is made up of a series of bones (vertebrae) cushioned by soft discs. These discs act as shock absorbers, allowing you to bend and move with ease. But sometimes, the outer layer of a disc can weaken, causing the inner gel-like material to push through. This is known as a herniated disc, and it can put pressure on nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.

A discectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the herniated portion of a disc, relieving pressure on the affected nerves. At Sano Ortho, our skilled surgeons specialize in minimally invasive microdiscectomy. This technique uses a small incision and specialized instruments to access and remove the herniated disc material. Microdiscectomy offers several advantages, including less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.

After your discectomy, our team will provide you with a personalized recovery plan. You can expect to gradually return to your normal activities, with guidance on proper wound care, pain management, and physical therapy. Our goal is to help you regain your strength, flexibility, and get back to doing the things you enjoy.
