The effect of intervertebral foraminoplasty can be expressed in four words, immediate effect. For acute nerve compression caused by a herniated disc, the actual removal of the herniated nucleus pulposus is all that is needed in time to completely and utterly relieve the discomfort of leg pain and leg numbness. In the past, excessive bony tissue had to be removed in an open form to achieve this goal. With intervertebral foraminoscopy, there is virtually no effect on the soft and bony tissues, and the procedure is performed through a small 0.7 cm incision. The surgery is very safe, and the patient can give feedback to the surgeon at any time when he or she is awake. The next day after the surgery, the patient can go down to the floor and the pain and numbness in the limbs disappear in time, and the patient can quickly return to daily life and work. For this type of surgery, intervertebral foraminoscopy is not simply less traumatic and faster recovery, but mainly to avoid secondary damage to tissues during surgery, and this surgery has been widely recognized by domestic counterparts in recent years and is being rapidly promoted in China. Overall, foraminoscopic surgery is a very effective, safe and fast way to treat herniated discs, with immediate results and the ability to help patients quickly return to normal life.
