Microsurgical Discectomy Abroad Microsurgical Discectomy Abroad Cost Package: Microsurgical Discectomy is a commonly used procedure for inter-vertebral disc herniation and spinal stenosis (which occurs due to calcium deposits on the spinal canal, often referred to as, osteophytes). The process is also called as the open operation, as it allows the surgeon to actually view the herniated disc through small incisions in the skin. This procedure is considered to be more reliable compared to the closed procedures (i.e. percutaneous procedures), as the surgeon can directly view the disc fragments. After moving the muscles of the back and excising a bit of bone tissue, the surgeon can directly look into the spinal canal. The procedure involves the use of an operating microscope which allows magnification of the degenerated spinal disc material and further allows greater mobility to the operating surgeon. This allows quicker post operative healing of the wound and hastens recovery. Clinical evidence suggests that the surgical outcomes of microsurgical discectomy are superior in most areas when compared to percutaneous techniques and other endoscopic techniques (i.e. transforaminal endoscopic discectomy). The microsurgical discectomy procedure mandates the need for a well qualified medical team and latest medical equipment technology to ensure utmost success. There are few international medical tourism destinations which meet the requisites for providing international and good quality of medical care. These destinations include India, South Korea, Turkey, Jordan and Mexico. Why Microsurgical discectomy?
