Dear Patient,<\/p>\n\n

Here’s a frequently asked question you might be interested in.<\/p>\n\n

When should a lumbar disc herniation be operated on?<\/p>\n\n

Many of us know someone who has undergone surgery for a lumbar disc herniation. Indeed, it is the most commonly performed spinal surgery worldwide. But what are the indications for surgery? Is it risky? What does it involve? <\/p>\n\n

Here’s a link to an article that I hope will answer your questions. Available here: https: \/\/neurochirurgien-suisse.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hernie-discale-lombaire—Diagnostic-et-prise-en-charge.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Happy reading!<\/p>\n\n

Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n\n

PD Dr Med Marco V. Corniola<\/p>\n\n
