The indication for fibrous annulus repair is disc herniation requiring nucleus pulposus removal.
Fibrous annulus repair can increase stability, block internal nucleus pulposus herniation, increase the healing rate of the annulus fibrosus, and decrease the rate of long-term recurrence. Fibers can be repaired, and usually the repair of the annulus fibrosus can be accelerated by providing the substances needed for its physiological and metabolic activities, but a herniated nucleus pulposus cannot be repaired. If the herniated nucleus pulposus is severe, the nucleus pulposus needs to be removed and the annulus fibrosus needs to be repaired at the same time.
After the annulus fibrosus repair surgery, attention should be paid to protect the lumbar spine to avoid causing lumbar disc herniation again. In daily life, we should pay attention to avoid sitting for a long time, standing for a long time and walking for a long time, and we should pay attention to strengthen the muscle strength of the lumbar back to stabilize the lumbar spine. Pay attention to keep the bowels unobstructed to avoid the lumbar intervertebral disc herniation again caused by the increase of intra-abdominal pressure.
The above surgery needs to be carried out in a regular hospital to avoid complications.
