Radiofrequency ablation surgery can treat mild lumbar disc herniation. Radiofrequency ablation of intervertebral discs is a minimally invasive technique in which the radiofrequency ablation electrodes that penetrate deep into the discs gasify some of the nucleus pulposus tissue of the discs, reducing the size of the herniated discs, thereby reducing the pressure of the herniated discs on the nerves of the patient and alleviating the patient’s symptoms. For mild lumbar disc herniation such as discogenic low back pain, bulging and inclusive disc herniation is effective, has the characteristics of small trauma, quick results, can effectively relieve the symptoms of lumbar pain. For severe lumbar disc herniation, such as the nucleus pulposus has completely prolapsed or protruded most of the way out, and the nerves are severely compressed, radiofrequency ablation surgery is ineffective, and it needs to be treated by other surgical modalities, such as endoscopic nucleus pulposus removal of the disc in the spine. Due to individual differences, whether it is suitable for radiofrequency ablation or not needs to be combined with the condition of the patient, so we suggest patients with lumbar disc herniation to go to the hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations and choose the appropriate surgical method under the guidance of the doctor.
