What supports the vertebrae after a microdiscectomy?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Microdiscectomy: During a micro discectomy only a very small portion of the disc is removed. The outer portion of the disc known as the annulus remains almost completely intact. There are also joints, ligaments, and muscles around the spine which help to support it.
