After watching the film, as reported.
Disc herniation is the most serious disc disease. Prolapse may be free at any time, or it may not be obvious all the time, but it may also be temporarily fixed because of the compression of nerve roots, which can only be found during surgery.
Your father fully meets the standard of open surgery, and the spinal stability in the film is acceptable. If the cardiopulmonary function is normal, simple operation is not necessary, but there are various problems in the operation, such as irreversible injury and postoperative complications, and the cost is generally less than 15 thousand.
In recent ten years, minimally invasive ablation treatment of disc herniation has been carried out in China. On the premise of mastering the indications, the clinical effect is quite high, which is better than open surgery on the whole. Your father is very ill. You can choose intervertebral foramen mirror and collagenase ablation. Intervertebral endoscope is a visual minimally invasive method, which can clamp the protrusion out of the spinal canal under visual conditions and reduce the pressure on nerve roots.
Collagenase dissolution is a chemical dissolution method, which is not recommended for prolapse patients in domestic academic monographs. However, according to my four-year minimally invasive clinical observation and treatment, this method is effective as long as the injection position is in place under the premise that the intervertebral foramen mirror cannot be operated.
To sum up, it is recommended that your father do minimally invasive treatment first. If the effect is not good, then open surgery alone, and most of them will recur after open surgery.
