Treatment overview

Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive spine operation performed to relieve nerve compression caused by a herniated disc in the lower back. Using a surgical microscope or magnifying loupes, the surgeon removes only the small fragment of disc material pressing on the spinal nerve root — leaving the rest of the disc and spine intact, with no fusion or metal implants required. It is most commonly recommended for patients experiencing persistent sciatica or progressive leg weakness that has not responded to several weeks of conservative treatment such as physiotherapy, medications, or steroid injections. The procedure typically takes 45 to 90 minutes under general anaesthesia, and most patients are walking the same day and discharged within one to three days. Leg pain caused by nerve compression often improves dramatically in the days immediately after surgery, with a gradual return to normal activities over six to twelve weeks.

3 approaches available for this treatment / procedure:

Standard (Open) Microdiscectomy Tubular (Minimally Invasive) Microdiscectomy Endoscopic Discectomy

Standard (Open) Microdiscectomy Most Common

A small midline incision is made in the lower back and the herniated disc fragment is removed using a surgical microscope, with gentle muscle retraction to access the nerve.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000

Typical tests for this variant: MRI lumbar spine (recent, within 3 months), X-ray lumbar spine (AP and lateral views), CBC, KFT, LFT, Coagulation profile (PT/INR, aPTT), ECG, Random blood sugar / HbA1c (if diabetic). Done in India before hospital admission.

Treatment / Procedure estimate

Estimated cost in India: $3,500 – $7,000

Stay in India

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days

Hospitalisation: ~3 days

Post-operative pain management and medications
Physiotherapy assessment before discharge
Wound care and suture removal at follow-up

Tubular (Minimally Invasive) Microdiscectomy Minimally Invasive

A series of progressively wider tubes spreads the back muscles apart rather than retracting them, allowing the disc fragment to be removed through a working channel roughly 1.5–2 cm wide.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000

Typical tests for this variant: MRI lumbar spine (recent, within 3 months), X-ray lumbar spine (AP and lateral views), CT scan lumbar spine (for bony anatomy planning), CBC, KFT, LFT, Coagulation profile (PT/INR, aPTT), ECG. Done in India before hospital admission.

I can honestly say that my experience seeking treatment abroad was nothing short of exceptional, and it really highlighted just how disappointing my experience with the NHS had been in comparison. After facing long delays, lack of clear communication, and a general feeling of being overlooked in the UK system, making the decision to travel overseas for care felt like a last resort—but it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with a level of professionalism and efficiency that immediately put me at ease. The hospital itself was spotless, modern, and incredibly well-organised. There was no sense of chaos or long waiting around; every appointment, test, and consultation was arranged promptly and ran exactly on time. It felt like the entire system was built around patient care and comfort, rather than patients having to fit into an overstretched system. The medical team were outstanding. Every doctor and nurse I interacted with took the time to listen carefully, explain things clearly, and make sure I fully understood my treatment plan. I never once felt rushed or dismissed. Instead, I felt genuinely cared for and respected, which made a huge difference during what was already a stressful time. One of the standout parts of the entire experience was the support we received from Natasha, our international client coordinator. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. She organised appointments, helped with paperwork, arranged transport, and was always available whenever we had questions or concerns. Her communication was excellent, and she made what could have been a very overwhelming experience feel simple and manageable. Natasha didn’t just do her job—she genuinely cared. She checked in on us regularly, made sure we were comfortable, and provided reassurance every step of the way. Having someone like her there made a huge difference, especially being in a foreign country where things can easily feel unfamiliar or stressful. Overall, the level of care, attention, and efficiency we experienced abroad was on a completely different level. It’s frustrating to say, but the contrast with the NHS was stark. Where we had previously faced delays and uncertainty, we instead found clarity, speed, and genuine compassion. I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone considering treatment abroad. The quality of care, combined with the incredible support from staff like Natasha, made what could have been a difficult experience into a very positive one. I’m truly grateful for the care I received and wouldn’t hesitate to make the same decision again if needed.
