How to treat discogenic low back pain minimally invasively

  What minimally invasive treatments are available for discogenic low back pain?  Patients with discogenic low back pain should first consider conservative treatment, and only consider surgery when conservative treatment is ineffective. There are many minimally invasive methods for the treatment of discogenic low back pain, which can be divided into two main categories: one is percutaneous interventional therapy for the treatment of painful discs, and these methods include: 1. percutaneous percutaneous nucleus pulposus chemolysis; 2. percutaneous percutaneous percutaneous lumbar discotomy; 3. percutaneous percutaneous laser vaporization disc decompression; 4. percutaneous percutaneous ozone nucleus ablation; 5. percutaneous percutaneous disc electrothermal therapy (IDET); 6. IDET); 6. discTRODE? radiofrequency intradiscal electrothermal fibruloplasty; 7. bipolar water-cooled radiofrequency fibruloplasty; 8. ultrasonic hydrodiscectomy for disc nucleus pulposus removal: 9. percutaneous myeloplasty; 10. low-temperature plasma myeloplasty, etc.  The second type of treatment is minimally invasive lumbar fusion, which includes: 1. laparoscopic anterior lumbar fusion, posterior percutaneous pedicle or small joint screw internal fixation; 2. small incision anterior lumbar interbody fusion, posterior percutaneous pedicle or small joint screw internal fixation; 3. axial lumbar interbody fusion, posterior percutaneous pedicle or small joint screw internal fixation; 4. extreme posterolateral interbody fusion 5.Minimally invasive posterior PLIF or TLIF surgery, etc.
