The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society·2026

This study reviews minimally invasive microdiscectomy for lumbar herniated discs unresponsive to conservative treatment. It details surgical techniques and patient considerations for effective outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Spinal Medicine

Background:

  • Lumbar herniated discs commonly cause back and leg pain, potentially leading to neurological deficits.
  • Conservative management, including medication, physical therapy, and injections, is the initial treatment approach for 6-8 weeks.
  • Surgical intervention is considered for persistent symptoms or severe neurological deficits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the preoperative and postoperative considerations for minimally invasive microdiscectomy.
  • To describe the surgical technique for less invasive microdiscectomy procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and surgical techniques for minimally invasive lumbar microdiscectomy.
  • Analysis of preoperative and postoperative management strategies.
