❓ FAQs on L4–L5 Microdiscectomy1. What is L4–L5 Microdiscectomy?L4–L5 Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive spine surgery performed to remove the herniated portion of the disc at the L4–L5 level that presses on spinal nerves. It relieves leg pain (sciatica), numbness, and weakness.⸻2. Why does the L4–L5 disc commonly cause problems?The L4–L5 level bears a major share of body weight and spinal movement. Over time, the disc can bulge or herniate, compressing the sciatic nerve — leading to leg pain, tingling, or weakness.3. What are the symptoms of L4–L5 disc herniation? • Lower back pain radiating to the legs (sciatica) • Numbness or tingling in feet or toes • Muscle weakness, difficulty lifting the foot (foot drop) • Pain worsening with bending, sneezing, or coughing4. When is surgery required for L4–L5 disc herniation?Surgery is considered when: • Pain persists despite 6–8 weeks of medicines, physiotherapy, and injections • Leg pain is severe and disabling • There is progressive weakness or foot drop • MRI shows significant nerve compression at L4–L55. How is L4–L5 Microdiscectomy performed?Using a small incision and microscope/endoscope, the surgeon removes the herniated part of the disc. This relieves nerve pressure while preserving most of the disc.6. What are the benefits of minimally invasive Microdiscectomy? • Small incision with minimal muscle damage • Less blood loss • Short hospital stay (often same day or next day discharge) • Faster recovery and return to work7. How long does recovery take after L4–L5 Microdiscectomy?Most patients walk on the same day of surgery and return to desk work within 2–3 weeks. Heavy lifting or strenuous activities may be restricted for 6–8 weeks.8. Is Microdiscectomy safe?Yes, in expert hands it is a safe and effective surgery with high success rates.
