Herniated Disc Surgery: Removing the Herniation With a Decompression

If a course of conservative treatments is not effective for relieving pain from a herniated disc, surgery may be considered as an option. A microdiscectomy (or microdecompression) is considered the gold standard of surgery options for a herniated disc, and can have good success rates in providing pain relief for leg pain. However, other surgery options such as the laminectomy are available in the treatment of herniated discs.
