Overcoming Back Pain and Sciatica
Microlumbar Discectomy is the "gold standard" for treating a herniated disc that is pressing on a spinal nerve. This condition often causes debilitating pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs (Sciatica). Dr. Ajay Randive uses advanced microscopic techniques to perform this surgery with extreme precision.
The Microscopic Advantage
Unlike traditional open surgery, a microdiscectomy requires a very small incision (usually about 1 to 1.5 inches). Using a high-powered surgical microscope, Dr. Randive can see the nerve roots clearly and remove only the portion of the disc that is causing the compression, leaving the rest of the disc intact.
