Microdiscectomy — Effective Slipped Disc Treatment in Mumbai

If a slipped disc (herniated disc) is causing sciatica, leg weakness or persistent back pain, a targeted microdiscectomy can provide rapid, lasting relief while preserving healthy tissue. Our approach at The Spine Clinic focuses on minimally invasive techniques, clear communication, and personalised rehabilitation so you get back to the life you love — sooner and safer.

What is a Microdiscectomy?

A microdiscectomy is a focused, minimally invasive operation to remove the portion of a herniated (slipped) disc that is pressing on a nerve root. Compared with larger open surgeries, microdiscectomy typically uses a small incision and a microscope or endoscope to reach the problem area precisely — resulting in less tissue disruption, less pain and faster recovery.

Fast pain relief
Rapid improvement in sciatica and leg symptoms for most patients within days to weeks.
Minimally invasive
Small incision, targeted decompression and preservation of spine stability.
Early return to activity
Most patients resume desk work within 1–2 weeks with a staged rehab plan.

Who benefits from microdiscectomy?

Patients with persistent leg pain (sciatica), numbness or weakness from a confirmed lumbar disc herniation that has not improved with conservative care (physiotherapy, medications, epidural injections).

People who want effective slipped disc treatment with a shorter hospital stay and predictable recovery timeline.

Those without widespread spinal instability or complex multi-level disease — our team assesses each case individually.

What to expect — step by step

  • Consultation & MRI review: We confirm the slipped disc level and symptoms.
  • Pre-op optimisation: Medical clearance and tailored anaesthesia plan for safety.
  • Procedure: Small incision, microscope/endoscope guided removal of offending disc fragment.
  • Recovery: Short observation (often same-day or overnight), early mobilization and an outpatient rehab plan.
  • Follow up: Physical therapy, activity guidance and periodic reviews to ensure full recovery.

Safety & risks

All surgery carries risks. Commonly discussed items include infection, bleeding, nerve irritation (usually temporary), and a small chance of recurrent disc herniation. Our team follows strict infection control, modern surgical techniques and enhanced recovery protocols to minimise risks.

How long is the hospital stay?
Most patients stay for a few hours to 24 hours when medically suitable. Some cases may require overnight observation depending on comorbidities and pain control.
Will microdiscectomy relieve my sciatica?
If sciatica is caused by a focal disc fragment compressing a nerve root, microdiscectomy provides excellent relief for many patients. Recovery varies — nerve healing can continue for weeks to months.
What about costs and insurance?
Costs vary by case complexity, implants (rare in simple microdiscectomy), hospital facility and length of stay. We provide an itemised estimate during consultation and assist with pre-authorization for insurance where applicable.
