The disadvantage of lumbar spine intervention is that the treatment is incomplete, and the danger is that it may damage nerves, ligaments, and other tissue structures.
Lumbar interventional therapy in most cases refers to minimally invasive treatment modalities performed in the case of lumbar spine pathology, such as radiofrequency ablation of intervertebral discs for simple lumbar disc herniation, removal of protruding intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus tissues under intervertebral foramenoscopy or discoscopy. This type of lumbar spine interventional treatment is based on surgical operation, but the treatment of diseased tissue is not complete due to the effective operation space.
Lumbar spine interventional therapy hazards because of the limitations of the surgical field of view, may damage the nerves, ligaments and other tissue structures. Mainly with the operation process because the surgical field of view is smaller than the field of view of open surgery, surgical operation will be on the surrounding nerves there will be a certain risk of injury. In addition, ligaments and other surrounding tissues will be cut during the operation to expose the operation area, so there is ligament tissue damage.
Lumbar spine interventions are relatively mature minimally invasive procedures. The likelihood of danger and surgical complications is very low. It is a highly advantageous surgical option.
Lumbar spine intervention should be performed by a specialized physician to minimize the risks and complications of the procedure, and the discomfort should be treated aggressively.
