The septuagenarian lumbar disc herniation minimally invasive surgery allowed her to get rid of "low back pain disease"

Red Net Moment, January 18 (Correspondent Liu Xun Zhang Xiyu) Recently, 76-year-old Grandma Wen (pseudonym) was admitted to the minimally invasive surgery department of spine in Zhuzhou Central Hospital because of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. In fact, Grandma Wen has been tormented by illness for many years and is in pain. The reason for this was that she thought that treating the disease required major surgery, and she was worried that she was too old to bear it, so she delayed going to the hospital for treatment.

However, after a detailed introduction by the attending doctor, Grandma Wen and her family finally relaxed their minds and immediately agreed to undergo surgery.

After the operation, Grandma Wen was able to move on her own immediately. Grandma Wen's daughter said happily: "I didn't expect that a short period of minimally invasive surgery would solve my mother's low back pain disease for many years, which made the whole family very happy!" ”

Hu Kai, director of minimally invasive spine surgery at Zhuzhou Central Hospital, introduced that since 2014, the department has introduced and matured the use of intervertebral foraminoscopy technology to treat patients with lumbar disc herniation, which can be called an epoch-making revolution. Its main advantages are: the operation is completed under local anesthesia, the trauma is small, the recovery is fast; the operation can be immediately after the operation, and the discharge can be discharged about three days after the operation, which greatly reduces the cost of treatment.

In recent years, the Minimally Invasive Surgery Department of Spine of Zhuzhou Central Hospital has insisted on carrying out various types of minimally invasive surgeries, not only mature spinal endoscopic surgery, but also on this basis, smoothly carrying out channel fusion surgery and microscopic fusion surgery. At present, the technical level of the department is at the leading level in the professional field in the province and has reached the advanced level in the country.
