Spine & Back Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico
Small-incision surgery to remove disc material pressing on a nerve root — often meaning less tissue disruption and a faster recovery than open surgery.
A discectomy removes or repairs the portion of a herniated or bulging disc that is pressing on a spinal nerve root, relieving leg and back pain caused by nerve compression.
Using minimally invasive techniques and imaging guidance, our surgical team accesses the disc through small incisions and specialized instruments — often resulting in less tissue disruption, less post-operative pain, and a faster return to daily activities compared to traditional open discectomy.
This procedure is commonly recommended for patients with sciatica, persistent leg pain, numbness, or weakness caused by a herniated lumbar disc that has not responded to conservative treatment.
