Disc prolapse, commonly known as slip disc, occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc protrudes through its outer layer and compresses nearby nerves. This condition most frequently affects the lumbar (lower back) and cervical (neck) spine, leading to pain and neurological symptoms.
In Bangladesh, disc prolapse is increasingly common due to prolonged sitting, poor posture, heavy physical work, lack of regular exercise, and age-related spinal degeneration. With early diagnosis and modern spine care, most patients can achieve excellent recovery.
Symptoms vary depending on the affected spinal level and nerve involvement. Common symptoms include:
Many patients improve with conservative management, including:
When non-surgical treatment fails or nerve compression is severe, Endoscopic Spine Surgery offers a highly effective and minimally invasive solution.
Dr. Md. Ziaul Hasan, a trained Endoscopic Spine Surgeon in Bangladesh, provides modern endoscopic treatment for disc prolapse using advanced minimally invasive techniques. He has received specialized fellowship training in Endoscopic Spine Surgery from South Korea and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery from internationally recognized centers.
Endoscopic spine surgery is performed through a small keyhole incision using a high-definition endoscope to remove the prolapsed disc fragment while preserving normal spinal structures.
Benefits of endoscopic disc prolapse surgery include:
This technique is especially effective for lumbar disc prolapse, cervical disc prolapse, and sciatica and is now successfully available in Bangladesh under expert spine care.
If you are suffering from disc prolapse or sciatica, early consultation with an experienced endoscopic spine surgeon in Bangladesh can help you avoid long-term nerve damage and major open surgery.**
