Treatment of lumbar disc herniation (III)

For the treatment of protruding lumbar discs, since the West discovered that protruding lumbar discs are the direct cause of lumbar disc herniation, the dynasty of protruding lumbar discs causing pain was created, after which many methods were devised for protruding lumbar discs, roughly divided into the following (1) dissolution methods, such as the former papain dissolution, collagenase dissolution, ozone dissolution oxidation, anhydrous alcohol dissolution, etc., (2) heat to allow The herniated disc is cured and shrunken, such as radiofrequency ablation, laser nucleolysis, etc., (3) mechanical cutting and removal, which includes minimally invasive percutaneous trocar disc cutting, discoscopy, intervertebral hollow mirror, conventional lumbar disc opening surgery, etc. All of these methods are methods that have emerged in recent decades, and many of them are short-lived, after which many of them have proved to be more than worthwhile. The mechanism is complex, and the removal of the herniated lumbar disc will cause many new problems, such as re-protrusion, scar adhesions and proliferation in the surgical area, destabilization of the spine itself, and the risk of surgery itself (such as damage to nerves, blood vessels, surgical infections, etc.), and the people who design these treatments are repairing people as machines, that is, treating living people as dead people. The above three methods are obviously more costly than the conservative treatment in the previous chapter, the patient takes more risks, most of them are irreversible therapies (not repeatable), except for the conventional lumbar disc surgery, the long-term results are not satisfactory (many patients will have the disease again after a few months). These methods because the state gives a higher price, so many hospitals earn the use of this method, a lot of advertising, unrealistic propaganda, patients because the image of this method is intuitive, think very scientific so tend to rush, our local hospital, is also the use of minimally invasive propaganda, advertising in Baidu, many patients turn back to our hospital said simply invalid, a go in on 12,000 yuan is gone. These methods are not to say that a nowhere, if strictly by the second chapter of conservative methods of treatment after the invalid can choose to use this method, do not come above the use of these methods.
