After entering the operating room, you will be administered anesthesia to put you to sleep. The anesthesia team will go over all questions you may have regarding anesthesia prior to your surgery. You will be laid face down on the operating table, a small incision will be made in the center of the back. The surgeon will locate the herniated disc, and the disc fragment is then removed. The procedure typically takes about 1 hour to complete.

When you wake up you will be in recovery (PACU). The nurses will monitor your vitals and provide medications to control the pain. You may or may not have a drain located in the surgical site (instructions for emptying the drain/removal will be provided via the nursing staff).
