Advanced Discectomy Treatment
Relieve Slip Disc Pain with Expert Discectomy Surgery
If you’re suffering from severe back pain, leg pain (sciatica), numbness, or weakness due to a herniated/slipped disc, Discectomy may be the right solution.
Under the expert care of Dr. Tamajit Chakrobarty (Neurosurgeon), Discectomy surgery is performed with precision to remove pressure from compressed spinal nerves—helping you return to a pain-free, active life.
Treatment Overview
What is Discectomy?
Discectomy (also written as Diskectomy) is a spine surgery performed to remove the damaged or herniated portion of an intervertebral disc that is compressing a nerve root or spinal cord.
Spinal discs act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae. When a disc slips or herniates, it can press on nearby nerves—causing pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness. Discectomy helps relieve these symptoms by removing the problematic disc material.
How Discectomy Works
Discectomy works by removing the herniated/displaced part of the disc that is irritating or compressing the nerve.
This helps to:
Reduce nerve pressure
Relieve radiating pain (sciatica/arm pain)
Improve numbness and weakness
Restore movement and daily comfort
Depending on your condition, the surgery may be performed using:
✅ Minimally Invasive / Microdiscectomy techniques
✅ Advanced surgical tools for precision and faster recovery
Symptoms That May Indicate You Need Discectomy
- Sharp or burning pain in the lower back or neck
- Leg pain (sciatica) or arm pain that worsens while sitting/standing
- Tingling, numbness, or reduced sensation
- Muscle weakness in arms or legs
- Difficulty walking, standing straight, or lifting objects
- Pain not improving after physiotherapy and medications
⚠️ In some cases, urgent surgery may be required if symptoms worsen or nerve damage signs appear.

Why Choose Our Discectomy Treatment
Benefits That Truly Matter
Get lasting relief from slipped disc pain with expert surgical care and a recovery plan designed around your comfort, safety, and long-term spinal health.
Fast Relief from Nerve Pain
Most patients experience significant relief from leg pain (sciatica) or arm pain (radiating pain) soon after surgery, as the compressed nerve is decompressed.
Advanced & Precise Surgical Approach
Discectomy is performed with a focus on accuracy and nerve protection, ensuring the herniated disc material is removed safely while preserving healthy spinal structures.
Minimally Invasive Options (When Suitable)
For eligible cases, Microdiscectomy / minimally invasive spine techniques may be used, which can result in:
- Smaller incision
- Less muscle trauma
- Reduced post-operative discomfort
Faster return to daily routine
Improved Mobility & Better Quality of Life
Discectomy helps restore movement and comfort by reducing pain, numbness, and weakness—allowing you to walk, sit, sleep, and work more easily.
Personalized Recovery & Rehabilitation Guidance
Every patient receives a tailored post-surgery plan, including:
- Activity guidance
- Posture care tips
- Physiotherapy support (if required)
- Follow-up evaluation for long-term spine health

Discectomy is a spine surgery performed to remove the herniated or damaged part of a spinal disc that is pressing on a nerve root or spinal cord. It helps relieve symptoms such as sciatica, leg pain, numbness, and weakness caused by nerve compression.
A microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive form of discectomy performed using magnification and specialized instruments. Compared to traditional discectomy, microdiscectomy usually involves:
- Smaller incision
- Less muscle damage
- Less post-operative discomfort
Faster recovery for many patients
Discectomy is commonly recommended when:
- Pain lasts for weeks to months despite medications and physiotherapy
- There is severe sciatica (leg pain) or nerve-related pain
- Numbness or weakness is worsening
- Daily activities are significantly affected
- MRI shows disc herniation compressing the nerve
You may need discectomy if you experience:
- Sharp lower back pain with leg pain (sciatica)
- Tingling or numbness in the leg/foot
- Muscle weakness in the leg
- Pain that worsens while sitting, bending, or walking
- Persistent symptoms that don’t improve with conservative treatment
Discectomy surgery is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, mild to moderate discomfort is normal, but it is usually manageable with medications and improves as healing progresses.
The surgery typically takes around 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on:
- Disc location (lumbar or cervical)
- Severity of disc herniation
- Surgical complexity
Many patients may be discharged within 24–48 hours, depending on their recovery, pain levels, and overall health. In some cases, a longer stay may be advised for monitoring.
Recovery varies for each patient, but commonly:
- Light walking may start early (as advised)
- Many return to normal routine in 2–6 weeks
- Full recovery and strengthening may take 6–12 weeks
Following post-operative instructions and physiotherapy (if required) improves results.
Return to work depends on your job type:
- Desk work: usually 1–3 weeks
- Physically demanding work: 4–8 weeks or more
Dr. Tamajit Chakrobarty will guide you based on your condition and healing progress.
Discectomy can provide long-lasting relief from sciatica by removing nerve compression. However, long-term results depend on:
- Spine health and posture
- Physiotherapy and strengthening
- Lifestyle habits
- Disc condition at other levels
Many patients experience significant improvement after surgery.
