Open surgeries for lumbar disc herniation commonly include minimally invasive intervertebral foraminoscopic surgery and incisional decompression and bone grafting internal fixation, etc. The recovery cycle of minimally invasive surgery is about 1~2 weeks; and the recovery cycle of incisional decompression and internal fixation surgery is usually about 4~6 weeks. 1. Minimally invasive intervertebral foraminoscopic surgery: this type of surgery is less invasive, and many patients can go down to the ground 1~2 days after surgery, and will recover well in about 1~2 weeks after surgery. 2. Incisional decompression and bone graft internal fixation surgery: this type of surgery is more invasive, more bleeding, and involves bone grafting, and most patients will need 4~6 weeks before they can basically return to the ground. Full recovery may take about 3 months. After surgery, you need to pay attention to a reasonable diet, to ensure that the bowel movement is smooth, you should avoid strenuous activities for 3 months, and you can carry out rehabilitation training under the guidance of experts. The recovery period after lumbar disc surgery varies from person to person, depending on the type of surgery, as well as the individual’s pain tolerance, severity of the disease, and recovery.
