Lumbar Microdiscectomy in Reno

Lumbar microdiscectomy is a minimally-invasive neurosurgical procedure that Dr. Sina Rajamand performs at Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery in Reno. This procedure removes portions of a herniated lumbar disc to relieve pressure on the spine or nerve branches.

A herniated disc occurs when the gel-like material inside the disc bulges out, pressing on the spinal cord or nerves, often causing sciatic pain that radiates through the buttocks and legs. When conservative treatments no longer provide relief, lumbar microdiscectomy can be an effective solution to alleviate this pain and restore function.

Reno Micro Decompression Surgery

Lumbar microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive decompression surgery typically performed on an outpatient basis, allowing most patients to return home the same day. Dr. Sina Rajamand utilizes a small incision and advanced tools, including a camera, to view the surgical area on a monitor. This technique enables precise operations with minimal risk to surrounding tissues and reduces the risk of infection.

The recovery is usually quick, with many patients resuming full activity within 2-3 weeks. Dr. Rajamand will provide detailed post-surgical instructions during your consultation. Lumbar microdiscectomy is recommended when sciatica pain persists despite conservative treatments, but is not generally advised for non-radiating lower back pain.
