Microdiscectomy, also referred to as micro decompression, is a minimally-invasive spinal surgery procedure for a herniated lumbar disc. Patients with a herniated lumbar disc experience leg pain called sciatica. This is the result of the disc compressing the spinal nerve.

In a microdiscectomy, the surgeon removes the herniated disc. This relieves pressure on the spinal nerve column and reduces pain with a high rate of success.

👉 Spinal deformities / Anterior-posterior (front-back) Spinal Fusion —
At Texas NeuroSpine Surgery, our goal is to always find the least invasive approaches for the best surgical outcome. However, some cases require more extensive approaches, as in this case of an L4-5 deformity in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis and years of debilitating low back pain. A “front-back” or “anterior-posterior” surgery was needed to correct her deformity and stabilize her spine.

A few weeks after surgery, the patient was off pain medication and resuming work and normal activities. Although not every patient recovers as quickly, this type of extensive surgery offers a solution to many patients who have failed less invasive treatment.

At Texas NeuroSpine Surgery, we recognize that every patient is unique, and patients require personal attention to choose the best surgical approach, whether it is minimally invasive spinal surgery or more extensive approaches. Be sure to choose a surgeon who will discuss all types of approaches, including surgical and non-surgical, for your condition as well as reasonable expectations after surgery.

The best treatment for back and neck pain is different for each patient. The goal is to find a minimally invasive spine treatment that provides the best results for you individually.

The spinal nerves and the spinal cord allow you to feel and move your upper body. When the space between the vertebrae narrows, it can press on the spinal cord or nerves. This may cause pain, weakness, or numbness. If minimally-invasive spine procedures or treatment doesn't relieve the pain, the surgeon may recommend cervical artificial disc replacement surgery, also called cervical disc arthroplasty.

If you have pain, weakness or numbness in your upper body, it's time to find relief! Schedule a consultation with Dr. Michael today to start your journey to living your life pain-free: https://loom.ly/O2Ol8ZE
