Understanding Lumbar Microdiscectomy
Lumbar microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive spine surgery designed to remove part of a herniated or damaged disc that is pressing on a spinal nerve.
By relieving nerve compression, the procedure can significantly reduce lower back pain, leg pain (sciatica), numbness, and weakness.
At Complete Medical Wellness, we specialize in lumbar microdiscectomy surgery in NJ & NY, offering patients faster recovery, smaller incisions, and effective symptom relief using advanced microsurgical techniques.

Conditions Treated by Lumbar Microdiscectomy
Lumbar microdiscectomy may be recommended for:
- Herniated lumbar discs
- Sciatica (nerve pain radiating down the leg)
- Lumbar radiculopathy (pinched nerve in the lower back)
- Severe lower back pain and leg weakness unresponsive to conservative treatments
What to Expect During Lumbar Microdiscectomy Surgery
Procedure Overview:
- A small incision (typically 1–2 inches) is made over the affected disc level.
- Special microsurgical instruments and a microscope are used to carefully remove the herniated portion of the disc.
- The surrounding muscles and tissues are preserved as much as possible to promote faster healing.
Benefits of Lumbar Microdiscectomy:
- Minimally invasive with a smaller incision
- Reduced muscle trauma and faster recovery
- Relief from sciatic nerve pain and leg symptoms
- High success rates for appropriate candidates
Most patients are able to return home the same day or after an overnight stay.
