The Herniated Disc Surgery Procedure

At Emirates Hospitals Group, herniated disc surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to reduce recovery time and post-operative discomfort. The procedure involves removing or repairing the damaged disc material pressing on spinal nerves. Our surgical team uses advanced imaging guidance and precision instruments to ensure safety and optimal results, with most patients resuming light activity within days.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Our spine specialists employ leading-edge surgical methods, including microdiscectomy, endoscopic discectomy, and artificial disc replacement, to treat herniated discs. These techniques minimize tissue disruption, lower infection risk, and improve recovery speed. Combined with computer-assisted navigation and intraoperative neuromonitoring, these approaches provide unmatched precision in spinal care.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Herniated Disc Treatment

Our spine surgeons in Dubai treat patients with herniated disc symptoms such as:

  • Persistent back or neck pain radiating to limbs
  • Numbness or tingling in arms or legs
  • Muscle weakness
  • Difficulty standing or walking for extended periods
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control (urgent medical attention required)

Diagnosis of Herniated Disc

A thorough diagnosis begins with a detailed medical history and physical examination. Our orthopedic and neurosurgical team uses advanced imaging to confirm the condition:

  • MRI scans for soft tissue detail
  • CT scans for bone and nerve structure visualization
  • X-rays to assess spinal alignment
  • Electromyography (EMG) to evaluate nerve function

Recovery Process of Herniated Disc Surgery

Following surgery, patients benefit from a structured recovery program:

  • Immediately post-operation (Days 0-2): Pain management, assisted mobility, monitoring for complications
  • The first few weeks: Gentle physiotherapy, wound care, gradual activity increase
  • 6–12 weeks: Strengthening exercises, improved mobility, return to light work
  • 3–6 months: Enhanced flexibility and endurance, near-complete function recovery
  • Beyond 6 months: Full return to daily activities, ongoing core strengthening

Cost of Herniated Disc Surgery in Dubai

Herniated disc surgery in Dubai at Emirates Hospitals Group typically ranges between AED 30,000 – AED 60,000, depending on the complexity and technique used.
