 Microscopic Lumbar Disc Removal

Assessment and treatment of disc-related pressure on the leg nerves

 Microscopic Lumbar Disc Removal

Lumbar microdiscectomy removes the part of a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve to the leg. Suitability depends on the symptoms, examination and matching imaging findings. Not every herniated disc needs an operation; non-surgical treatment may be appropriate for the individual case.

The Surgical Microscope

Magnified visualization to support careful handling of the nerves

The surgical microscope gives a magnified view of the nerves and surrounding tissues to help the surgeon remove the disc fragment causing compression. Dr. Mohamed Nawar, a spine surgeon, performs this procedure. The main aim is to relieve leg pain caused by nerve pressure. Expected benefits, risks and alternatives are discussed during assessment.

Why Choose Microscopic Lumbar Disc Removal with Dr. Mohamed Nawar?

  • Extensive Experience: With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Mohamed Nawar is one of the leading pioneers of microscopic spine surgery in Egypt and the Middle East
  • The Surgical Microscope and Supporting Equipment: The procedure uses a surgical microscope. When needed, supporting equipment may include intraoperative X-ray guidance for localization, neuromonitoring to help protect nerves, and surgical navigation to assist with accuracy.
  • Magnified Visualization: The surgical microscope provides magnified, high-definition visualization that supports precise handling of the nerves and surrounding tissues.
  •  Fast Recovery:As a minimally invasive procedure, it causes less pain and tissue damage, allowing patients to return to office work within two weeks and physical activity within two months
