Is it common to have diarrhea after diskectomy surgery?

No: The diskectomy surgery itself is not known to be associated with diarrehea. You might be having a reaction to medications that you may have been given during your hospitalization. For example, antibiotics, or stool softeners. Check with your doctor.
