There are two main types of lumbar herniated disc surgery, open surgery and minimally invasive surgery; open surgery has a slightly lower recurrence rate than minimally invasive surgery, but neither is higher overall. Open lumbar herniated disc surgery will not only remove the herniated lumbar disc, but will also clean up the surrounding area more thoroughly. Minimally invasive surgery mainly removes the herniated lumbar disc, so the recurrence rate for open surgery is slightly lower than for minimally invasive surgery, although the overall recurrence rates are low. The main triggers of recurrence are strain, sprain, trauma, etc. After lumbar disc herniation surgery, you should pay attention to the rehabilitation exercise as prescribed by the doctor, and avoid bending and weight bearing, sedentary and other situations, which can reduce the recurrence rate. If you have lumbar pain after lumbar disc surgery, you should go to a regular hospital in time to check whether it is recurring or not, and then the doctor will choose the appropriate treatment according to the results of the examination.
