The discectomy is performed by a neurosurgeon. With an open intervention, he performs an incision up to 10 cm , through which he removes the damaged intervertebral disc.
If necessary, the doctor fixes the vertebrae with a special frame or replaces the intervertebral disc with an artificial one.
The operation lasts up to 2 hours .
For the first 2 months after the intervention, doctors recommend wearing a supporting corset.
The incision for microdiscectomy is only 3 cm , and the total duration of the operation does not exceed 1.5 hours .
When performing an endoscopic microdiscectomy, doctors use local anesthesia . The incision does not exceed 2 cm . The duration of the operation is less than half an hour .
