How soon can I work after minimally invasive lumbar disc herniation surgery

Minimally invasive surgery for lumbar disc herniation refers to radiofrequency ablation, intervertebral foramenoscopy or transforaminal disc removal. Since the surgery does not damage the normal human bone structure and lumbar joints, internal fixation is not required. In addition, the surgical wound is small, usually around 3cm, and the recovery after surgery is quicker, you can get out of bed in 5-7 days. If radiofrequency ablation is performed, patients can go to work 2 weeks after surgery, and if other open surgery is performed, patients can return to work 1 month after surgery. Patients are also advised to take more rest in the early stage of returning to work, avoid sitting and standing for a long time, and rationalize their working hours. In addition, 1-3 months after surgery to wear reasonable lumbar support, do not lift heavy objects, squatting needs to be slow, all of these will help the recovery of the waist.
