— Percutaneous Discectomy
Take pressure off the nerve.
Minimally invasive procedure to remove herniated disc tissue pressing on nerves and causing sciatica or limb pain.
— What it is
Percutaneous Discectomy
When disc material bulges out and crowds a nerve, the nerve protests — with sciatica, arm pain, numbness, or weakness. Percutaneous discectomy removes a small amount of that inner disc material through a needle-sized entry point, decompressing the disc from the inside so the bulge draws back and the nerve gets room again.
- A narrow instrument is guided into the disc through a tiny skin entry — no open incision and no muscle cutting.
- A small volume of the inner disc material is removed, reducing pressure inside the disc.
- Lower internal pressure allows the bulge to retract away from the compressed nerve.
- Performed under imaging guidance as an outpatient procedure.
— Who it helps
This may be right for you if
You have a contained disc herniation confirmed on imaging.
Leg or arm pain from nerve compression is your dominant symptom.
Conservative care and injections have not delivered lasting relief.
You want a less invasive option before considering open spine surgery.
You need a shorter recovery than traditional surgery allows.
— What to expect
Your visit, step by step.
- 01
Evaluation
We review your MRI and exam carefully — candidacy for this procedure depends on the type of herniation you have.
- 02
Preparation
You are positioned and the entry site is cleaned and numbed.
- 03
Decompression
Under imaging guidance, the instrument is advanced into the disc and a small amount of disc material is removed.
- 04
Recovery
The entry point needs no major closure. You go home the same day and follow a structured activity plan as the nerve calms down.
