Minimally Invasive Keyhole Surgery for Lumbar Disc Problems: Recovery, Results & FAQs

PACE Hospitals

Listen to

Keyhole surgery for lumbar disc problems is a minimally invasive technique designed to relieve pressure on spinal nerves caused by herniated or slipped discs. Instead of a large incision, surgeons use a tiny cut and advanced instruments to remove or repair the damaged portion of the disc. This approach reduces blood loss, scarring, and post-operative discomfort compared to traditional open surgery.


Keyhole surgery is especially beneficial for those with persistent back or leg pain that does not improve with medications, physiotherapy, or lifestyle modifications. In this episode of the Keyhole Surgery for Lumbar Disc podcast, we will delve into what a lumbar disc herniation is, its causes, benefits, and the recovery process.


Join the PACE Hospitals Podcast with Dr. U L Sandeep Varma, Consultant Brain and Spine Surgeon at PACE Hospitals, Hyderabad, India, to understand everything about Keyhole Surgery for Lumbar Disc.
