Detailed Insights: Endoscopic Lumbar Disc Surgery
Endoscopic lumbar disc surgery represents the pinnacle of minimally invasive spine surgery. This advanced procedure is highly effective for treating lumbar disc prolapse, providing significant pain relief and quick recovery.
Treatment Options for Lumbar Disc Prolapse: The treatment plan for lumbar disc prolapse varies based on the patient's clinical features. Each patient receives an individualized treatment plan, considering specific symptoms and personal factors. The following are key treatment options:
- Conservative Management: Non-surgical management is the first line of treatment for acute lumbar disc prolapse. This includes pain control with medication, bed rest for three to seven days, and physiotherapy modalities. Approximately 90% of patients are treated conservatively.
- Interventional Spine Care: Target-specific pain control procedures using local anesthetic and steroid injections at the level of disc prolapse (such as root block injections and epidural injections). These injections provide temporary relief and may help avoid surgery for many patients.
- Endoscopic Disc Surgery: For patients with severe radiating leg pain, nerve function deficits, or persistent pain despite conservative management, surgical discectomy is required. Endoscopic disc surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that removes the prolapsed disc fragment through a small incision, resulting in less muscle damage and quicker recovery compared to conventional discectomy.
Benefits of Endoscopic Disc Surgery:
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves an 8-9 mm incision, causing minimal muscle and bone damage.
- Quick Recovery: Patients can typically go home pain-free within a day after the procedure.
- Local Anesthesia Option: Suitable for older patients or those with medical conditions that pose risks for general anesthesia.
- Reduced Post-Operative Pain: Immediate post-operative pain is significantly less compared to conventional disc surgery.
