The surgical removal of an intervertebral disk is known as a discectomy. This procedure is typically performed to relieve pressure on spinal nerves caused by herniated or degenerated disks, which can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. A discectomy can be done through traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, depending on the patient's condition and the surgeon's preference. Recovery time and outcomes vary based on the individual and the extent of the surgery.
