The possible hazards of minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery include recurrence of primary disease, peripheral nerve injury, muscle function injury, etc. The probability of occurrence is usually small.
1. Recurrence of primary disease: The field of vision of minimally invasive surgery is small, and there may be problems such as incomplete nucleus pulposus removal due to the blind spot of the field of vision, which may lead to recurrence of primary disease after surgery.
2. Peripheral nerve damage: the surgery may lead to peripheral nerve edema, and irreversible nerve damage may occur if timely rehabilitation is not provided.
3. Muscle function damage: After minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery, if correct and scientific rehabilitation training is not carried out in time, it may lead to insufficient muscle strength of the lumbar back muscles, or if the exercise is started too early or is too strenuous, the muscle function may be damaged.
Patients who undergo minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery should go to the hospital in time if they feel uncomfortable after the surgery, and standardize the treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
