The problem of recurrence in some patients after lumbar disc herniation surgery often plagues many patients. In fact, the recurrence rate after lumbar disc surgery is about 4% to 8%, and not every patient will have a recurrence. So why does a recurrence occur after lumbar disc herniation surgery? This is because our surgery does not remove all the discs, but only the herniated and nerve-pressing discs. Therefore, some patients will herniate again, causing a recurrence. In order to avoid recurrence, it is necessary to remove not only the herniated disc that is pressing on the nerve, but also the remaining discs, which results in the absence of discs and necessitates internal fixation surgery. The implant fusion surgery is also commonly known as nail surgery, which requires the fusion of two vertebrae into one piece, and after this surgery, although there is no disc and no recurrence, but also the loss of a phase of activity. Therefore, it is important to talk to your doctor about the specific type of surgery you need and choose the one that is right for you.
