Two weeks post-operation, most patients can expect to be participating in all regular, daily activities. A spinal fusion procedure requires a bit more downtime, and patients are restricted for 12 weeks to allow proper bone fusion and healing to occur.
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).
One study estimated the success rate for back surgeries to be about 50%. This estimate is conservative, as most success rates depend on a wide variety of factors. Your health, specific surgery, source of pain and any surgery complications influence whether or not your procedure will be effective.
