Living with back or leg pain caused by a herniated disc can affect your daily life. At Texas Spine and Pain Group, we specialize in minimally invasive discectomy — a cutting-edge surgical approach that relieves nerve pressure with minimal tissue disruption. Led by Dr. Muhammad Zain Mirza, a trusted spine specialist in Dallas, our team provides advanced, patient-centered care for individuals across Dallas, Plano, Frisco, and Irving, Texas.
A minimally invasive discectomy is a procedure that removes the damaged portion of a herniated or bulging disc pressing on nearby nerves. Unlike traditional open back surgery, this approach uses small incisions and specialized instruments such as an endoscope or microscope to precisely target the affected area.
This technique minimizes muscle and tissue damage, reduces scarring, and allows patients to recover faster — often returning home the same day.
This procedure is recommended when conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or injections fail to relieve symptoms caused by nerve compression.
You may be a candidate for minimally invasive discectomy if you experience:
