What is Microscopic/Endoscopic Discectomy?
Consideration can be given when disc herniation is confirmed to cause nerve compression and conservative treatment has limited effectiveness. Typically performed under general or spinal anesthesia, a small incision is made to access the target space with the aid of a microscope or endoscope system. The protruding nucleus pulposus tissue is sequentially exposed and removed, while preserving stable structures. Intraoperative fluoroscopy and neurophysiological monitoring can be used. After hemostasis and irrigation, the incision is sutured. Postoperative monitoring focuses on pain, sensation/motor function, and wound status, with the goal of decompressing the nerve and promoting functional recovery. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
