Discectomy in Reno, NV

Discectomy is a neurosurgical procedure that removes the damaged portion of a spinal disc. This surgery is often necessary when a herniated disc presses on nearby nerves or the spinal cord, leading to pain, inflammation, and other complications. It can also address slipped, ruptured, or bulging discs. Dr. Sina Rajamand at Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery in Reno specializes in performing this essential neurosurgical repair.

Your spine consists of 33 vertebrae, with cushioning discs in between, made from a tough outer layer and a softer, gel-like interior. These discs allow your spine to twist, bend, and absorb shock. However, conditions like osteoarthritis, wear and tear, or injury can damage these discs, leading to pain and loss of function. A discectomy can relieve pressure on the spinal cord and restore comfort and mobility.
