Your Spine
  • Your spine is an important structure of your
    body. It gives you support it allows you to
    move and bend freely.
  • To provide support, your spine contains 24
    vertebrae.

Zimmer, 2005

Microdiscectomy
  • In a microdiscectomy spine surgery, a small
    portion of the bone over the nerve root and/or
    disc material from under the nerve root is
    removed to relieve neural impingement and provide
    more room for the nerve to heal.
  • A microdiscectomy spine surgery is typically
    performed for lumbar herniated disc.
