Spinal disorders enter the era of minimally invasive treatment

Spinal disorders are common and frequent diseases, and according to statistics, about 300 million people in China currently suffer from such diseases to varying degrees. Among them, lumbar disc herniation, spinal trauma and lumbar degeneration are the most common spinal diseases. The treatment of these diseases has been a problem that medical experts have been trying to explore and solve, but the large population of patients with this disease and the poor effect of conservative treatment, coupled with the difficulty of surgical treatment and high disability rate, have also caused many impacts on solving problems such as postoperative recurrence and anti-risk and improving patient prognosis. The first Sino-US International Orthopedic Treatment Center in Central China is officially located in Zhongshan Hospital of Hubei Province, which adopts the internationally leading “minimally invasive intervertebral foraminoscopic spine technology and microscopic spinal canal enlargement” to treat lumbar disc herniation, spinal trauma, lumbar degeneration and other spinal surgical diseases, with the advantages of less surgical trauma, no impact on spinal stability, good efficacy and less complications. It has the advantages of less trauma, no impact on the stability of the spine, good efficacy, less complications, etc. Professor Yuan Hansheng, chief expert of Wuhan Sino-US International Orthopedics, introduced that this technology is the world’s leading-edge advanced technology, only a few large hospitals in China can carry out, and only Hubei Zhongshan Hospital in Hubei Province can carry out. The use of this technology marks the era of minimally invasive treatment of spinal disorders! Professor Yuan introduced that with ageing, organ aging and calcium loss, every elderly person is affected by orthopedic diseases to varying degrees, especially lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spinal stenosis, scoliosis and other diseases, which seriously threaten the health of the general public and cause great distress to individuals and families. The traditional surgical treatment of spinal diseases uses open surgery, which has the disadvantages of large incision, large trauma area, bleeding and easy infection, which greatly affects the postoperative rehabilitation of orthopedic patients. With the improvement of clinical level, the development of endoscopic technology and the innovation of surgical instruments, micro-invasive surgery has become the development trend in the field of surgery today. Professor Yuan emphasized that minimally invasive surgical techniques have been applied to spinal cord surgery in recent years, and the treatment of spinal cord diseases has moved into the minimally invasive era. In the past, a major traumatic surgery that required an open abdomen and an open chest can now be accomplished with just a few small holes in the skin surface of the waist. This not only greatly reduces the risk of surgery such as cervical and lumbar spine, allowing more and more patients to receive timely treatment, but also makes disease recovery quick and easy. In particular, the elderly are less tolerant of major surgery, and the use of the most advanced international minimally invasive, local anesthesia can help them recover with minimal trauma, even for various complex orthopedic surgeries such as lumbar spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis, which can be recovered in just one or two days.
