Common questions
How is this different from open disc surgery?
Microdiscectomy uses a microscope and a smaller incision to remove only the offending fragment, sparing more tissue.
Will my sciatica disappear?
Leg pain usually improves quickly, though some numbness or tingling may take longer as the nerve heals.
When can I return to work?
Light work is often possible within two to four weeks, while heavy work needs longer.
