Discectomy is a surgical procedure to remove herniated or damaged disc material that is pressing on spinal nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the back and legs. This procedure is most commonly performed in the lumbar (lower back) region but can also be done in the cervical (neck) spine. A discectomy relieves pressure on nerve roots, providing significant pain relief and improved function. At Arthoscenter, Dr. Gurudeo Kumar has performed over 400 successful discectomy procedures with a 96% patient satisfaction rate. Using advanced microsurgical techniques and minimally invasive approaches, Dr. Kumar ensures faster recovery, minimal tissue damage, and excellent outcomes. Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art surgical microscopes and imaging technology for precise disc removal. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and involves removing only the portion of the disc causing nerve compression, preserving as much of the healthy disc as possible. Most patients experience immediate relief from leg pain and can return to light activities within 2-4 weeks.
