Through Dr. Ahmed El-Ghoul’s clinic, we offer the latest surgical solutions and treatment methods for lumbar disc herniation with high precision and advanced techniques to ensure optimal results and symptom improvement.
Lumbar disc herniation is the protrusion or displacement of the naturally occurring discs between the lumbar vertebrae, causing pressure on the nerves, which may result in:
Severe pain radiating from the lower back to the leg, sometimes reaching the foot or heel
Numbness or weakness in the lower limbs, difficulty walking or moving
In some cases, difficulty controlling urination
It is scientifically known that approximately 85% of lumbar disc herniation cases do not require surgery. Simple non-surgical measures may be sufficient to improve symptoms, such as weight reduction, exercise, avoiding heavy lifting, in addition to some medications such as anti-inflammatory drugs, nerve pain medications, muscle relaxants for the lower back, and B-complex vitamin supplements. However, in specific cases, surgical intervention is necessary, and microscopic surgery is always the preferred option for the following reasons:
Small surgical incision (2–3 cm) leaving a minimal scar
Avoiding muscle damage or removal of a large portion of vertebral bone
High magnification view of nerves and tissues
Precise removal of the herniated disc portion
Reduced bleeding during surgery
Success rates up to 95% compared to traditional surgery
Discharge from the hospital on the same day or the day after surgery
Return to normal activities 7–10 days after surgery
