Welcome to the comprehensive guide to microdiscectomy surgery led by Dr. Amit Shridhar, a renowned neurosurgeon dedicated to providing advanced and compassionate care to patients suffering from spinal disc herniation.
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves caused by a herniated disc. This surgery aims to alleviate pain, weakness, and numbness associated with disc herniation by removing a small portion of the herniated disc material that is pressing on the nerves.
