Traditional surgery for lumbar disc herniation

Your medical history has been 5 months, and the main symptoms are low back pain with left lower limb pain. MR showed that the height of L5/S 1 intervertebral disc was decreased, and the color was black, which was a degenerative change of intervertebral disc, with obvious protrusion and compression of nerve roots, and conservative treatment was ineffective. This situation should be treated surgically. As for the surgical method, it is not suitable for simple minimally invasive discectomy because of the symptoms of intervertebral disc degeneration combined with low back pain, and the age is almost 50 years old. If you simply cut the intervertebral disc, you can solve the leg pain, but you can't solve the low back pain. Conventional incision should be made, and the surgical method is nucleus pulposus resection and nail internal fixation. The technical term is "posterior interbody fusion". Postoperative lumbago and leg pain can be solved.

(Dr. Ai Fuzhi from the General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Region solemnly reminds me that because I can't see the patient in person, I can't fully understand the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. Please go to the hospital for specific diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor! )
