What is Lumbar Disc Surgery?

Lumbar disc surgery involves the removal or repair of a damaged disc in the lower back to relieve pressure on spinal nerves.

Common Surgical Techniques:

• Microdiscectomy – removal of herniated disc material

• Endoscopic lumbar discectomy – minimally invasive approach

• Lumbar decompression – relieves nerve compression

Goals of Surgery:

• Relieve back and leg pain

• Restore nerve function

• Improve mobility and quality of life

• Prevent further nerve damage

Why Does Lumbar Disc Herniation Happen?

Lumbar disc herniation occurs when the soft inner material of the disc protrudes through the outer layer, pressing on nearby nerves and causing pain or neurological symptoms.

Major Causes of Lumbar Disc Herniation

• Age-related degeneration

• Heavy lifting or trauma

• Poor posture and sedentary lifestyle

• Genetic predisposition

• Obesity and strain on spine

Symptoms

Typical Symptoms Include:

• Chronic lower back pain
