Dec 10, 2022

With the extension of working time and the growth of age, the number of patients with lumbar disc herniation also increases. At present, there are many ways to treat lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, which method can effectively treat lumbar intervertebral disc herniation? There are many treatments for lumbar disc herniation, including conservative, surgical and minimally invasive treatments. Each approach has its own advantages, disadvantages and limitations. Therefore, patients should choose the appropriate method according to their own conditions. Minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation has been shown to be effective in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. So how does minimally invasive intervention radiofrequency ablation treat a herniated lumbar disc?

Methods of radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation: The doctor needs to accurately locate the lesion with the help of CT, insert a 0.7 mm positioning hollow needle under local anesthesia, and then insert the radiofrequency guide wire through the positioning hollow needle for treatment, only 3-5 minutes, the effect will be immediately visible.

Minimally invasive interventional therapy program radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is based on the principle that radiofrequency energy is used to steam the diseased nucleus pulposus tissue in the intervertebral disc, so as to shrink and solidify collagen fibers in the nucleus pulposus, reduce the pressure in the intervertebral disc, relieve nerve compression and restore the function of the intervertebral disc, so as to achieve the therapeutic purpose.

The advantages of minimally invasive interventional therapy program radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation are as follows: this method has less trauma (almost no bleeding during the operation), less pain (the operation process is almost painless after subcutaneous local anesthesia), high safety and fast recovery (you can walk on the postoperative day and go home the next day after symptoms disappear).
