How is microscopic surgery done?

A lighted microscope is used to help your surgeon see the affected area. The surgeon may remove a small portion of bone that protects the root nerve. With a scissor-like tool, your surgeon will remove the damaged herniated tissue, relieving the pressure on the nerve. The incision is closed with sutures.
