Endoscopic Micro Discectomy (MED) Surgery

Micro Discectomy – What is it ?

Through advancements in modern surgical technology surgeons worldwide have started performing a surgical procedure called a micro endoscopic discectomy (MED). The operating surgeon uses special instrumentation combined with a real-time camera display to remove a herniated disc or fragments of one through a very small incision.

A microscopic discectomy is performed for the same reasons as a traditional discectomy to accomplish the same results. An endoscopic microdiscectomy is performed to remove a herniated disc by using much smaller incisions. In a traditional discectomy your surgeon makes a large enough incision which he can visually see and remove herniated disc fragments. In a micro discectomy your surgeon will use small incisions combined with a small camera to locate the problematic fragment(s) and remove them with special surgical instruments. The procedure may or may not require general anesthesia and because it is done with a smaller incision there is usually less tissue damage…

In most cases the patient will be “put under” with general anesthesia, but some surgeons prefer to perform a MED using either local or spinal anesthesia alleviating some patient uneasiness and concerns about general anesthesia. With the patient sedated he/she is turned onto their abdomen and secured into position with pads.
