The time to get up after surgery for a herniated disc 4.5 and 5 sacral prolapse needs to be determined by the type of surgery, postoperative recovery, and so on. Minimally invasive surgeries usually allow you to get out of bed in 1~2 days, while open surgeries allow you to stay in bed for at least a week.
Minimally invasive surgery for lumbar disc prolapse is characterized by less trauma, better results and faster recovery. The foramenoscope used in minimally invasive surgery is very thin, the local incision is about 1cm, just like the size of a soybean grain, the bleeding is less than 20ml, and there is only 1 stitch after surgery. After the herniated disc is removed, the pain is relieved immediately, so patients undergoing this procedure can get out of bed in 1~2 days.
Patients undergoing open surgery have large local trauma and bleeding pain, so they need to rest in bed for about a week, and after the pain disappears, they can wear a lumbar device to move around on the ground, and when there is a drainage tube for the urinary catheter, they should get out of bed after it is pulled out.
After lumbar disc surgery should get out of bed as soon as possible to help the incision healing to prevent lung or urinary tract infection, to prevent thrombosis of the lower limbs, specific time to get out of bed, it is recommended to ask the attending physician.
