Depends on the technique used. Most of my cases are done endoscopically, without cutting bone or muscles. Recovery is quick, and success rate is about 95 %.
In the high 90% range.
It is more than 90 percent successful for leg pain relief. Back pain might also improve.
The success rate for herniated disc surgery is usually very high.
