Microscopic Spine Surgery, also called microdiscectomy or minimally invasive spine surgery, is a technique that uses a high-powered microscope or magnifying instruments to perform precise spinal procedures. It is commonly used to treat herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and other spinal conditions. The use of a microscope allows the surgeon to work through smaller incisions, minimizing damage to surrounding muscles and tissues, reducing pain, and speeding up recovery.
- Minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions.
- Uses a high-powered microscope or magnification tools for precision.
- Ideal for herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and nerve compression.
- Reduces damage to muscles, ligaments, and surrounding tissues.
- Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery compared to traditional spine surgery.
- Lower risk of post-operative pain and infection.
- Allows for quicker return to daily activities and work.
- Improves nerve function, reduces pain, and restores spinal stability.
