What are the disadvantages of radiofrequency ablation of herniated discs

Radiofrequency ablation of herniated discs is a minimally invasive procedure, but because it is an invasive operation, there are still certain disadvantages. For example, it may cause damage to the local tissues, and there is also the risk of infection, and the surrounding nerve roots may be damaged during the operation, and the local area may bleed and form a hematoma after the operation, which are the possible disadvantages of radiofrequency ablation surgery. Of course, if the herniated disc is very serious and the conservative treatment is not effective, surgery should be considered. Minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation surgery also has many advantages, such as smaller local trauma, faster recovery after surgery, and no serious damage to the surrounding tissue. The technical requirements of radiofrequency ablation surgery are relatively high, and it is best to go to a larger hospital so that you can get enough assurance.
