Struggling with Slipped disc? Dive into our guide for insights on the meaning of slipped disc, symptoms, causes, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatments.

Keyhole surgery for lumbar disc, also known as minimally invasive spine surgery, is performed to treat herniated discs or spinal stenosis. This procedure uses small incisions and specialized instruments to remove or repair damaged disc tissue, reducing pressure on spinal nerves. Indications for this surgery include severe back pain, leg pain, numbness, or weakness caused by nerve compression. The benefits include faster recovery, less post-operative pain, and minimal scarring compared to traditional surgery. However, like all surgeries, it carries some risks, including infection, nerve damage, or the possibility of incomplete relief from symptoms.
