Lumbar disc herniation surgery includes open surgery and minimally invasive surgery according to the severity of the condition, and the recovery time after surgery is related to the surgical method. Open major surgery for lumbar disc herniation has a large incision, and the nucleus pulposus is removed and fixed and fused at the same time, so the postoperative recovery time is long, requiring 4-6 weeks of postoperative rehabilitation, and those who heal well can wear a lumbar girth and move around on the ground and recover in about 3 months; minimally invasive surgery has less damage and does not destroy the bony and stable structure of the lumbar spine, so you can wear a lumbar girth or a support and move around on the ground on the day after surgery, and you can be discharged in about 1 week and recover in 2-3 weeks. Recovery, there are also risks such as postoperative recurrence, so the choice of surgical method is decided according to the specific situation. Patients should pay attention to a reasonable diet after surgery, ensure smooth bowel movements, avoid coughing caused by cold, avoid strenuous activities for 3 months, and carry out rehabilitation training under the guidance of experts, including flexion activities, regression walking, supine leg flexion, supine stirrups, five-point support, sit-ups, etc.
