A lumbar discectomy removes the part of a herniated disc that presses on a nerve, usually at L4-L5 or L5-S1, and is the most common back surgery. It is often a same-day or overnight procedure. A laminectomy for spinal stenosis costs about the same; a spinal fusion, with implants and a longer stay, costs much more. Many people improve with physical therapy, injections and time, so surgery is usually a later step.

Paying cash: what to do
- Ask for a bundled self-pay price that includes the surgeon, anesthesia, facility and follow-up visits; hospital file prices usually cover only the facility.
- Ask whether screws, rods, cages and bone graft are included, since implants can be a large part of the price.
- Consider a second opinion before a fusion.
