Why Patients Consider Herniated Disc Surgery

Many patients consider herniated disc surgery when persistent back or leg pain no longer responds to medication or conservative treatments. Ongoing pressure on spinal nerves may lead to worsening pain, numbness, or muscle weakness that affects daily movement and quality of life.
In these situations, surgical treatment aims to remove pressure from the affected nerve, relieve pain, and restore normal mobility while preventing long-term neurological complications.

Herniated Disc Symptoms

A herniated disc may cause persistent lower back pain that radiates into the leg due to pressure on spinal nerves. Patients may also experience numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness that affects movement and daily activities.
When symptoms continue or progressively worsen despite conservative treatment, specialist evaluation is required to determine whether surgical intervention is necessary.

Diagnosis of Herniated Disc

Accurate diagnosis of a herniated disc requires both clinical examination and imaging evaluation. Spine specialists assess neurological function, pain distribution, and movement limitations before confirming the condition through MRI imaging.
MRI scanning allows surgeons to identify nerve compression and determine whether surgical treatment is necessary. Through CeritaMed, medical reports and imaging can be reviewed before travel, helping patients receive a clear treatment plan prior to arriving in Iran.

Types of Herniated Disc Surgery

Several surgical techniques are used to treat herniated disc depending on the severity of nerve compression and the patient’s condition. Spine surgeons select the most appropriate procedure to relieve nerve pressure while preserving spinal stability and function.

Microdiscectomy

A commonly performed procedure in which the damaged portion of the disc pressing on the nerve is removed through a small surgical incision. This technique allows effective nerve decompression with faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Endoscopic Spine Surgery

This technique uses specialized surgical instruments and camera guidance to access the affected disc with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. It is often recommended for selected patients requiring precise nerve decompression.

Open Disc Surgery

In more complex cases, conventional surgical approaches may be necessary to fully access and treat severe disc herniation or spinal instability.
