Sciatica Surgery
Sciatica surgery can be effective at easing a patient’s symptoms of pain, burning, numbness, tingling, cramping, and/or muscle weakness in the lower back, hips, buttocks, legs, and feet. Surgery is typically reserved for patients who find little to no relief from non-invasive treatments after several weeks or months of trying various options. While open back surgery can be effective at decompressing the sciatic nerve, some patients experience complications during and after surgery, which can lead to failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS), infection, visible scarring, and more.
