It usually means less pain, less blood loss, a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to routine activities compared with open surgery.
No. Most patients with slip disc or back pain improve with medicines, physiotherapy and lifestyle changes. Surgery is advised only when there is severe or persistent pain, weakness, numbness or loss of bladder/bowel control, or when conservative treatment fails.
