What is microdiskectomy?
Spinal microdiskectomy is surgery to remove disk fragments from a herniated disk, usually in the lower back (lumbar area).
Unlike lumbar spine surgery that requires a surgical cut about 2 to 5 inches long, microdiskectomy is less invasive, and done using a very small surgical cut about about 1 to 1 ½ inches long.
Alternative Names:
Spinal microdiskectomy; Microdecompression
