How long does it take to recover from surgery for a prolapsed nucleus pulposus of a lumbar disc?

Lumbar disc medulla oblongata surgery is divided into two kinds, generally minimally invasive surgery patients recovery time is about 3~4 weeks, with the use of auxiliary internal fixation way of patients with surgery recovery time to be a little longer need to be about 2~3 months. 1.Minimally invasive surgery: lumbar disc medulla oblongata surgery out of the use of minimally invasive surgical treatment of patients with the recovery period is generally in 3~4 weeks, due to minimally invasive surgical incision is relatively small, usually the patient in the spinal endoscopy to complete the interface is only a few millimeters in length, in the microscope-assisted completion of the incision is only about 3cm. There is less soft tissue destruction and more bony structures are preserved, so the recovery period is relatively shorter. Most patients will get partial or most of their symptoms relieved in 1-2 days after surgery, and with the extension of time, the residual symptoms will be gradually relieved or disappeared with the assistance of medication. 2. Auxiliary internal fixation: if the lumbar disc medulla oblongata is more, the intervertebral instability, gap collapse patients, need to use auxiliary internal fixation way to complete the surgery, the surgical incision is about 6cm, in addition to the complexity of the surgical process, the majority of patients about 2-3 days after the operation symptoms have been relieved, and want to achieve a completely normal state requires about 2-3 months to recover.
