Intervertebral disc lesions may manifest with local or widespread pain always in the spinal area, depending on the type and extent of the lesion.
These lesions may be located in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine, presenting the corresponding symptoms (sensation of pain) e.g. pain or numbness in the shoulder blade, pain along the sides, pain in the hip, etc.
The surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation is mainly performed using the microsurgical microdiscectomy method. Minimizing access, smaller iatrogenic lesions and rapid recovery are the basic elements of a minimally invasive technique.
Endoscopic microdiscectomy is an evolution of microsurgical technique and minimizes iatrogenic lesions, reduces hospitalization-rehabilitation time, having clear indications for its implementation.
