Minimally Invasive Relief for Herniated Discs
Small Incision. Big Relief.
Dealing with a bulging or herniated disc? Our Percutaneous or Endoscopic Discectomy can help relieve pain and pressure on your nerves — all through a small incision, without traditional back surgery.
What is Percutaneous / Endoscopic Discectomy?
A Percutaneous or Endoscopic Discectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat painful herniated or bulging discs in the spine. These discs can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, legs, or arms.
In this procedure, a thin tube (endoscope) is inserted through a small cut in the skin. Using special tools, the damaged portion of the disc is carefully removed to relieve pressure on the nerves — without disturbing the surrounding tissue.
It’s most often used to treat:
Herniated discs in the lumbar (lower back) or cervical (neck) region
Sciatica (pain radiating down the leg)
Pain that hasn’t improved with physical therapy or injections
How the Treatment Works
Here’s what happens during a typical discectomy:
01
Evaluation
Dr. Kumar will review your MRI or imaging and symptoms.
02
Preparation
You’re given local anesthesia and light sedation.
03
Accessing the Disc
A small incision (less than 1 inch) is made, and the endoscope is inserted.
04
Removing Disc Material
Using tiny tools, the part of the disc pressing on the nerve is carefully removed.
05
Closure & Recovery
The incision is closed with minimal sutures, and you can usually go home the same day.
Why Choose Endoscopic Discectomy?
This procedure is ideal for patients seeking a less invasive alternative to traditional spine surgery. Because it avoids cutting through muscles and large tissues, recovery time is faster and pain is reduced. Patients also have less risk of complications and minimal scarring. With the help of Dr. Kumar’s expertise and advanced imaging tools, this treatment offers precise, targeted relief for disc-related pain — so you can return to your normal routine sooner and with more comfort.
