Risk of minimally invasive lumbar disc herniation

The risks of using minimally invasive treatment for lumbar disc herniation are as follows: First, persistent pain: If minimally invasive treatment is used for lumbar disc herniation, the nerves are damaged during the treatment process, which may cause persistent lumbar pain symptoms. Second, infection: Minimally invasive surgery can damage blood vessels during the treatment process, resulting in local hematoma, and the patient can develop local infection, manifested by clinical symptoms of generalized fever and severe local pain. Third, serious bleeding: If large blood vessels are damaged during the treatment process, it will cause serious bleeding in the lumbar spinal canal, and the patient may even suffer serious consequences such as hemorrhagic shock. Therefore, minimally invasive treatment for lumbar disc herniation involves certain surgical risks, and patients should know the risks and extent of the operation before the surgical operation.
