Diskectomy is the most common surgery used for herniated disk in the lumbar region. In this procedure, the portion of the disk that is causing the pressure on your nerve root is removed. In some cases, the entire disk is removed. The surgeon will access the disk through an incision in your back (or neck).
Surgeons usually perform diskectomy using general anesthesia, so you're unconscious during the procedure. You'll receive the anesthetic medication as a gas â to breathe through a mask â or by an injection into a vein. Small amounts of spinal bone and ligament may be removed to gain access to the herniated disk. Ideally, just the fragment of disk that is pinching the nerve is removed, relieving the pressure but leaving most of the disk intact.
