“Keyhole Surgery for Lumbar Spine Disorders

Traditional lumbar spine surgery requires incision of more than ten centimeters, extensive stripping and pulling of the muscles of the lumbar back, which is traumatic, bleeding and “hurts the vital energy”; recovery after surgery often requires a long process, and some patients will also suffer from persistent low back pain due to muscle damage after surgery. The biggest advantage of “keyhole surgery” is that it is minimally invasive, “does not hurt the vital energy” and completely removes the lesions, achieving the same effect as traditional surgery. With the help of modern high-tech channel technology, image-guided percutaneous puncture technology, special surgical equipment and instruments, it is possible to reach the site of lumbar spine lesions without stripping the muscles of the lumbar back to completely decompress, loosen the nerves, and remove the lesions, and at the same time it is possible to minimally invasively implant an internal fixation to stabilize the spine. These techniques can greatly reduce the trauma and increase the safety of the surgery. After surgery, the patient will feel less pain and no longer have the fear of traditional surgery, which can speed up recovery and shorten hospitalization time. Generally speaking, patients can get out of bed 6-8 hours after the surgery and achieve basic recovery after one week.
