Spine procedure
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Endoscopic Discectomy
A minimally invasive lower-back surgery that removes part of a damaged, herniated disc to relieve pressure on the nerves.
Minimally invasive lumbar endoscopic discectomy is a form of spine surgery in which the surgeon removes part of a damaged disc in the lower back.
How it works
The surgeon takes out the damaged part of the herniated disc, which helps ease pressure on the spinal cord and allows the nerves in the lumbar spine to be decompressed.
Why a minimally invasive approach
Because the procedure is minimally invasive, it carries a lower risk of infection than more extensive surgery.
