Microdiscectomy & Microdecompression in New Jersey

Microdiscectomy (or microdecompression) is an outpatient spine surgery that relies on specialized instruments, a high-powered surgical microscope, and advanced microsurgical techniques. By creating a tiny “Band-Aid” incision and gently dilating the surrounding muscles, Dr. Stieber aims to decompress the spinal cord or nerve root, reducing pain and restoring functionality to everyday life.

Possible Benefits of Microdiscectomy

Disorders like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative changes can press on nerve roots, causing pain that radiates into the legs (for lumbar conditions) or arms and upper back (for cervical issues). Neurological symptoms, including tingling and weakness, often appear when compression is significant. Because microdiscectomy uses a small incision and minimal tissue disruption, many patients experience:

Reduced postoperative discomfort
Faster recovery times
Minimal blood loss
Less post-surgical pain

Microdiscectomy in New Jersey is generally advised if non-operative measures fail to control symptoms, or if neurological deficits (e.g., numbness, weakness) worsen over time.

About Micro Endoscopic Discectomy and Decompression

Dr. Stieber performs microdiscectomy in NJ under general anesthesia, using fluoroscopic (real-time X-ray) guidance to precisely locate the targeted area. After a dime-sized incision is made, specially designed microsurgical instruments and a robotic microscope help identify and remove bone or disc fragments crowding the nerve. Once the nerve is free, the incision is cleaned and closed with absorbable sutures.

Patients typically recover in a monitored area, where vital signs—including blood pressure, breathing, and pain levels—are observed. Although some mild incision soreness is normal, most individuals can return home the same day. Dr. Stieber will discuss the chances of needing an overnight stay ahead of the scheduled procedure.

Care at Home

Dr. Stieber supplies each patient with thorough home-care instructions that cover pain management, diet tips, and incision care, as well as any restrictions on bending or lifting during early healing. These guidelines support a seamless recovery and help ensure that concerns—like swelling or discomfort—are addressed promptly. Our dedicated staff remains available to answer questions at every stage.
