Information
has gloss	eng: A discectomy is a surgical procedure in which the central portion of an intervertebral disc, the nucleus pulposus, which is causing pain by stressing the spinal cord or radiating nerves, is removed.

A laminectomy is often involved to permit access to the intervertebral disc in a traditional discectomy.
