Myelography

The electrical activity of muscles is measured both while they are contracted and when they are at rest in this test.

Microdiscectomy

Lumbar disc microsurgery, also known as microdiscectomy, is a procedure that involves removing a portion of a damaged disc in the lumbar spine. This spinal cord surgery is used when treatments such as rest, heat, ice, physical therapy, and medicines have failed to alleviate severe symptoms.

Micro-lumbar laminotomy

The lamina, a little section of bone found in the vertebra, may also need to be removed by your physician during the procedure. The lamina is a protective layer that surrounds your spinal cord. The surgeon can get to your herniated disc by removing part or all of it. It can also reduce nerve strain and relieve leg pain and sciatica.

Micro spinal Fusion

To make your spine more stable after a discectomy or laminotomy, your surgeon may fuse the two vertebrae on either side of the disc together. This is referred to as spinal fusion surgery. The bones will be unable to move once the two discs are fused, and you will be free of pain.

Spinal fusion is a surgical treatment that permanently joins two or more bones in your spine. In comparison to typical spinal fusion surgery, micro spinal fusion employs a smaller cut (incision).

The success rate for microdiscectomy spine surgery is generally high, with a medical study finding that 84 percent of those who get the treatment have outstanding results overall.

What they’re saying

I had a minor fall that hurt my spinal discs, as the pain, in the beginning, was not quite severe. I tried home remedies and painkillers, but nothing worked. I then reached out to Sri Ramakrishna Hospital upon a friend's reference. The doctor performed a few tests and informed me I might need to undergo minor surgery to remove the damaged discs. The surgery was quick and was painless, and the best part is it did not leave any scars. Thank you, Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, for your advanced care. Read More
