Is minimally invasive recommended for lumbar protrusion in young adults

Young people with lumbar herniation, i.e., lumbar disc herniation, can be treated conservatively if the symptoms are mild or there are no obvious symptoms; if the herniation is said to be serious, minimally invasive surgery can be considered. Young people with lumbar disc herniation if not serious, did not cause obvious compression of the nerves or spinal cord, most patients have no obvious symptoms, or the symptoms are relatively mild, at this time do not first consider minimally invasive surgery, you can first conservative treatment, such as lying in a hard bed, lumbar physiotherapy, traction, to correct the bad postural habits and so on. Young patients with severe disc herniation, resulting in nerve compression and severe symptoms, or after conservative treatment is ineffective, minimally invasive surgery can be performed. This type of surgery is less invasive, quicker recovery, and can improve the clinical symptoms very well. Most of the minimally invasive surgeries refer to intervertebral foraminoscopic nucleus pulposus removal, which has its limitations. Most of the surgeries remove the protruding nucleus pulposus, but there is a certain chance of recurrence, and the decompression effect is not as thorough as that of incision and decompression. The choice of minimally invasive surgery for a young person with a herniated disc must be determined by imaging and evaluation by a medical professional.
