Microlumbar Discectomy

---

Microlumbar discectomy is a highly effective, minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat herniated discs in the lower back (lumbar spine) that are causing nerve compression, pain, or weakness.

What is Microlumbar Discectomy?

In this procedure, Dr. Midhun Jose uses a surgical microscope and small incisions to carefully remove the portion of the herniated disc pressing on the spinal nerves. This precise approach minimizes tissue damage, reduces recovery time, and improves patient outcomes compared to traditional open surgery.

Who Needs Microlumbar Discectomy?

This surgery is typically recommended for patients experiencing:

• Persistent leg pain (sciatica) caused by nerve compression

• Numbness, weakness, or tingling in the legs or feet

• Failure to improve with conservative treatments such as physical therapy and medications

• Significant impact on daily activities or quality of life

Benefits of Microlumbar Discectomy

• Small incision and less muscle disruption

• Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay

• Significant relief from nerve-related pain

• Lower risk of complications

• Improved mobility and function

What to Expect During Surgery and Recovery

Microlumbar discectomy is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1 to 2 hours. Most patients can return home the same day or after a short hospital stay. Post-surgery, Dr. Midhun Jose will guide you through a tailored rehabilitation program to restore strength and flexibility.

Why Choose Expert Care?

Successful outcomes depend on surgical expertise and personalized care. Dr. Midhun Jose is dedicated to using advanced techniques to ensure the safest and most effective treatment for your lumbar disc problems.
