Displacement of disc material through a tear in the outer annulus, which can irritate adjacent nerve roots and cause back or neck pain with radiating symptoms.
Minimally invasive procedures for the lower spine.
Spinal Endoscopy (Lumbar)
Endoscopic decompression through direct visualization.
Lumbar Discectomy
Removal of herniated disc material pressing on a nerve root.
Lumbar Laminectomy
Decompression of the spinal canal to relieve stenosis.
Lumbar Fusion
