Annually, more than 250,000 Americans undergo traditional open surgery to remove or repair herniated discs, a leading cause of back pain. While this type of operation can eventually improve function, recovery time has traditionally proven to be painful and last several weeks. However, an innovative microdiscectomy technique known as the METRx system allows surgeons to repair debilitating herniated discs using a minimal access process, with incisions smaller than a dime. The procedure provides nearly immediate relief from pain, faster healing, and less hospital time.
