The Lumbar Disc Disease Surgery Options
There are three options for the patient with lumbar disc disease, and your doctor helps you choose the best procedure based on the severity of your condition.
Usually, after six weeks, in case the pain doesn’t resolve, your doctor will recommend three options, which are:
- Artificial disc replacement
- Spinal fusion
- Microdiscectomy
- The doctor will replace a plastic or metal disc with an artificial disc replacement instead of the broken one.
- In the Spinal fusion method, on the other hand, the doctor strengthens the spine to provide better stability by connecting affected vertebrae.
- The doctor will remove portions of the herniated disc to relieve pain and decrease the pressure on the spinal nerve column.
