Different types of minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery have different indications and drawbacks, mainly including narrow indications and less obvious results. Overall, although minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery is less damaging, it can solve the problem in a limited way. When a patient has low back or leg pain, localized disc removal alone can only partially relieve leg pain, but cannot significantly relieve low back pain. Secondly, minimally invasive disc removal, due to the small amount of nucleus pulposus removed, is unable to completely loosen the compressed spinal cord and nerve roots, resulting in a lack of relief of low back pain and other symptoms after surgery. As a result, the chance of recurrence is high, and other minimally invasive procedures such as fibrous annulus suturing are needed to improve the poor efficacy of minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. Patients are advised to choose the appropriate surgical procedure under the guidance of their doctors.
