Dekompressor Discectomy
A dekompressor discectomy is a procedure to remove the section of a herniated disc that is irritating a nerve and causing you pain. This is known as a minimally invasive procedure because the surgeon uses a small needle-like instrument guided by a fluoroscope. During the procedure, the surgeon inserts a probe with a rotating tip through the needle to reach your herniated disc. The rotating tip carves away the bone, which creates more space for the nerve, relieving the pressure and stopping the pain.
