A spinal discectomy is a surgical procedure in which the central portion of an intervertebral disc, the nucleus polpusus, which is causing pain, by stressing the spinal cord or radiating nerves, is removed. Advances in options have produced effective alternatives to traditional discectomy procedures. Spinal discectomy is a minimally invasive spine surgery procedure recommended for its low morbidity rate. During the procedure endoscopic discectomy, an incision less than 3 cm is made between two adjacent lumbar spinous processes. Subperiosteal separation of Para spinal muscles from the spinous processes and laminae is performed. A suitable double hook retractor is selected and the hooks are placed over the lateral aspect of the adjacent spine region. The hooks avoid the interspinous ligament. A suitable flat blade is now introduced on the sides of the paraspinal muscles. The parallel bars of the retractor system are now introduced in the slots available on the blades, and are distracted over a serrated bar. This maneuver now efficiently retracts the paraspinal muscle away from the spinous processes and thus providing a rectangular surgical field exposing the adjacent laminae, interlaminar space and the medial edge of the facet joint. The interspinous ligament is not disturbed. The benefits of spinal discectomy is that patients have to stay less in hospitals, normal routine can be started again very soon.
