Abstract
Lumbar disc herniations are seen frequently in pain management practices. Specialists are well versed in the nonsurgical treatments for lumbar radiculopathy. Although most disc herniations would resolve without the need for surgery; it should be considered when patients have refractory pain or motor deficit. The following article discusses the surgical treatment for lumbar disc herniation—microdiscectomy. Pertinent literature has been reviewed and the surgical outcomes are highlighted.
