  1. Comprehensive Guide to Herniated (Slipped) Disc Surgery A herniated or "slipped" disc is a spinal condition where the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing. This can result in irritation of nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg. In severe cases, surgical treatment is necessary to relieve the symptoms and prevent further complications. What Is a Herniated Disc? The spine is made up of vertebrae, between which lie intervertebral discs that act as cushions. These discs have a soft, jelly-like center (nucleus) encased in a tougher exterior (annulus). When the nucleus pushes out through a tear in the annulus, it’s called a herniated or slipped disc. Causes: •Age-related disc degeneration •Repetitive strain or lifting heavy objects •Sudden injury or trauma •Improper posture or ergonomics Symptoms of a Herniated Disc If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may have a herniated disc: •Persistent Back or Neck Pain: Chronic discomfort that may radiate to other parts of the body. •Tingling or Numbness in Arms or Legs: Pressure on nearby nerves causes unusual sensations or numbness. •Muscle Weakness: Weakness in specific muscle groups due to nerve compression.

  2. Diagnosis Diagnosis typically involves: •Physical Examination: Neurological and musculoskeletal assessment. •Imaging Tests: MRI, CT scan, or X-rays to confirm the herniation and its location. •Nerve Tests: Electromyography (EMG) to assess nerve function. Treatment Options Conservative Treatments: •Rest and activity modification •Physical therapy •Pain medications and anti-inflammatory drugs •Epidural steroid injections Surgical Treatment: If symptoms persist or worsen despite conservative management, surgery may be recommended. Surgical Goals: •Relieve nerve pressure •Eliminate pain and numbness •Restore mobility and function Common Surgical Procedures: •Microdiscectomy •Laminectomy •Spinal fusion (in advanced cases) Why Choose Dr. Ishant Rege?
