The recovery period after minimally invasive lumbar disc herniation surgery is generally 4 to 6 weeks, and those with mild nerve root compression generally need a recovery period of 2 to 3 months, which varies from person to person. Minimally invasive lumbar disc herniation surgery is generally indicated for people with simple lumbar disc herniation, and is characterized by less surgical trauma and faster postoperative recovery. Generally, you can wear a waist corset to carry out activities on the ground on the second day after the surgery, and you can be discharged from the hospital on the third day after the surgery if there is no abnormality. After 4 to 6 weeks of acclimatization time after discharge, the patient can basically return to normal. If there is mild nerve root compression before the surgery, the recovery time after the surgery may take 2 to 3 months. The surgery itself can decompress the nerve roots, but the nerves need to repair themselves for a longer period of time. Most people with mild nerve compression will need rehabilitation training and other adjunctive therapies such as electrical stimulation to help the body repair the nerves after the surgery. Herniated lumbar discs should be treated in regular hospitals in a timely manner, complete the relevant examinations, clarify the severity of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment. If minimally invasive surgery is required, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions for postoperative exercise and treatment, so as to avoid delays in the condition.
