Advanced Lumbar Discectomy Surgery for Lasting Back Pain Relief

Back or leg pain caused by a herniated disc can interfere with every part of life — from sitting and walking to sleeping comfortably. When rest, physiotherapy, or medications fail to help, Lumbar Discectomy Surgery offers an advanced, minimally invasive solution.

 

At Dr. Ambarish Mathesul’s Spine Clinic in Kharadi, Pune, patients receive precise, safe, and effective treatment focused on restoring mobility and ensuring a faster recovery.

When Is Lumbar Discectomy Surgery Needed?

Lumbar Discectomy is usually recommended when a herniated (slipped) disc presses on a spinal nerve, causing continuous pain or numbness.
You may be advised surgery if you have:

 

  • Persistent lower back or leg pain that doesn’t improve with rest or therapy
  • Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the legs
  • Pain that worsens during movement or while sitting
  • Difficulty walking, standing, or performing daily activities
  • MRI or CT scans showing nerve compression

If non-surgical care hasn’t worked for 6–8 weeks, Lumbar Discectomy Surgery can provide long-term pain relief and restore comfort.

Diagnosis and Pre-Surgical Evaluation

Before surgery, Dr. Ambarish Mathesul, the Best Orthopedic Surgeon in Kharadi, performs a detailed evaluation to ensure the best results.
This includes:

 

  • Neurological and physical examinations
  • MRI or CT scan to locate the affected disc
  • Review of your medical history and previous treatments

A clear and accurate diagnosis ensures that the surgery targets the exact problem area, leading to better recovery outcomes.

How Lumbar Discectomy Surgery Is Performed

Step-by-Step Overview:

  1. Anesthesia & Positioning: You will receive spinal or general anesthesia and be positioned comfortably for easy surgical access.
  2. Small Incision: A tiny incision (1–2 cm) is made in the lower back, and the surrounding muscles are gently moved aside.
  3. Disc Removal: Using a microscope or endoscope, the surgeon removes the part of the disc pressing on the nerve.
  4. Closure & Recovery: The incision is closed using absorbable sutures or surgical glue, ensuring minimal scarring and faster healing.

Minimally invasive techniques allow patients to walk within hours and return to light work within two to three weeks.

Benefits of Lumbar Discectomy Surgery

  • Quick and lasting pain relief
  • Faster recovery compared to open surgery
  • Minimal scarring and muscle damage
  • Short hospital stay (often discharged in 24 hours)
  • Immediate improvement in leg and back function
  • Lower risk of infection and complications

Recovery and Aftercare

Post-surgery, patients are encouraged to begin walking on the same day or the next.
Recovery tips include:

  • Avoid lifting, bending, or twisting for 4–6 weeks
  • Perform light physiotherapy exercises as prescribed
  • Maintain a healthy posture and ideal weight
  • Return to normal work within 2–3 weeks (desk jobs)

Physiotherapy helps rebuild strength and flexibility while preventing future spine issues.
