Discectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the injured portion of the herniated disc, which compresses against the adjacent nerves causing radiating pain in the arms and legs.

It is advised in patients when walking or standing is challenging or if physiotherapy is ineffective or the pain is unbearable.
