The spine is a long and flexible structure running through the back from the skull’s base to the tailbone, consisting of vertebras and intervertebral discs. It encloses a long band of tissues called the spinal cord. The spinal cord is made up of nerve fibers […]
Sciatica is a term used to describe pain caused by the irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, resulting in pain or numbness along the pathway of the sciatic nerve. The most common cause of sciatica is disc herniation in the lumbar spine, causing pinching […]
Sciatica refers to the pain caused by the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the longest in the body and it passes through the lower back, buttocks, and down each leg. It usually occurs in only one leg but it […]
If left untreated or if the underlying cause is severe, sciatica may become chronic and persistent, lasting for two months or more. An estimated 20% to 30% of people may continue to have sciatica for 1 to 2 years.
This significantly reduces blood loss, damage to muscles, nerves and blood vessels, surgical complications, pain, and scarring. Consequently, patients spend less time in the hospital and recover much quicker than from traditional surgery.
Discectomy is surgery to remove lumbar (low back) herniated disc material that is pressing on a nerve root or the spinal cord. It tends to be done as microdiscectomy, which uses a special microscope to view the disc and nerves. This larger view allows the surgeon to use a smaller cut (incision).
