After Laser Spine Surgery

Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgery that treats patients with pinched nerves in the spinal column caused by herniated or ruptured discs. After laser spine surgery your recovery at home should go just fine. You can expect to feel stiff or sore in your back area. This should improve a few weeks after surgery. You may have relief right away or it may take a few days or weeks. All patients are different. In the weeks following your surgery, it will be hard to sit, stand, more from one position to another and do daily activities on your own. You may learn this as you go however, so be sure to have assistance a phone call away just incase. It may take up to 8 weeks to fully recover. Your neurosurgeon may advise you to work with a physiotherapist to strengthen the muscles around your spine and trunk. You will need to learn how to properly move your body so you do not put too much strain on your back. Most importantly, you need to listen to your body. Rest when you’re tired, try to go for a walk daily and get some fresh air, avoid doing strenuous activities, change your position every 30 minutes or so, keep in contact with your doctor and make sure you go to all your follow up visits.

Neurosurgeon performing Microdiscectomy

The procedure itself is only about 90 minutes long. You will be put to sleep, surgery will take place and you will be done. The night of the surgery you will have stiffness in your back however it will heal rather quickly and you will go home later that night. You will experience some pain or uncomfortableness for about a week or two, sometimes a month. This is normal healing time for a laser spine surgery.

One fortunate factor after having a microdisectomy done is that recovery time is done at home rather than a hospital. You do not have to spend any extra time in the hospital unless there are complications or you are not feeling well and may end up going back to the hospital for a follow up sooner than your neurosurgeon can see you.
