Cost of lumbar disc herniation surgery

The cost of treatment for lumbar disc herniation should be comprehensively analyzed according to the mode of surgery, the degree of protrusion, and the relevant area accumulated to the patient. Generally, the cost of performing lumbar disc herniation surgery should be between ten thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars. For patients with lumbar disc herniation, the first consideration is conservative treatment, such as traction, massage, drug control, and physiotherapy and other comprehensive treatment methods. If conservative treatment is not very effective and the patient’s symptoms are more serious, only then should surgery be considered. The indications for surgery should be determined, first of all, if the patient has had the disease for more than three months, if the patient has not had good results with strict non-surgical treatment, or if the treatment is effective but recurs frequently and the pain is severe, or if, although it is the first attack, the pain is severe and, with the patient’s lower extremity symptoms being more pronounced, the patient has difficulty even moving and sleeping, and if the patient is in a forced position. Patients in a forced position should also undergo surgery, as well as patients with combined compression of the cauda equina nerve, such as the emergence of incontinence, there is a more serious nerve root paralysis, and accompanied by muscle atrophy of the lower extremities, muscle strength loss, as well as attention to the combined spinal stenosis patients are in need of surgery, surgery is through the posterior lumbar back incision to remove part of the lumbar plate and lumbar intervertebral discs The procedure is performed through a posterior back incision to remove part of the lumbar plate and disc, or through the intervertebral space to remove the disc. For lighter patients, minimally invasive surgery of the lumbar disc can be considered. Minimally invasive treatment causes less damage to the body, shortens recovery time, and is relatively less expensive.
