diskektomiaa

Diskektomiaa, also known as diskectomy, is a surgical procedure used to remove a herniated or bulging disk from the spine. This condition occurs when the intervertebral disk, a cushion-like structure between the vertebrae, degenerates and pushes against the spinal nerve roots. Diskektomiaa is typically performed to alleviate pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected area, and to prevent further damage to the spinal cord or nerves.

The procedure involves making an incision in the back and removing the herniated portion of the disk. In some cases, the surgeon may also remove a portion of the vertebra to provide more space for the spinal cord and nerves. Post-surgery, patients usually require a period of recovery and physical therapy to regain strength and mobility.

Diskektomiaa is a common treatment for spinal disorders, particularly in cases where conservative treatments such as physical therapy and medication have failed to provide relief. It is important for patients to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure with their healthcare provider before undergoing diskektomiaa.
