Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Discectomy Surgery. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
A discectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the portion of a herniated spinal disc pressing on a nerve, with the goal of relieving the radiating pain, numbness, or weakness travelling down the leg or arm. It is one of the most commonly performed spine operations worldwide and is typically recommended when six to twelve weeks of conservative treatment — physiotherapy, medications, or injections — has not provided adequate relief. The operation can be performed through a traditional open incision, a smaller incision with microscope assistance (microdiscectomy), or through a tiny tube using an endoscope (endoscopic discectomy). For herniated discs in the neck, the standard approach is anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), where the disc is removed from the front of the neck and the vertebrae are stabilised. Most patients notice significant improvement in their leg or arm pain shortly after surgery, with full recovery typically unfolding over six to twelve weeks.
The herniated disc fragment is removed through a small 2–3 cm incision in the lower back using a surgical microscope, preserving surrounding muscle and bone.
