Leg pain, foot numbness, shoulder and neck pain ... Spinal problems regardless of age! There is a new explanation for diagnosis and treatment.
Dr. Liu Hengwei (neurosurgeon in Shuanghe Hospital) remembers that there was an advertisement promoting canned pickles. The content of the advertisement is an elderly couple, holding hands, walking on the stone steps of the forest. In the advertisement, the wife gently reminded Mr. Wang that tomorrow is the day of fasting. The two men smiled at each other, gently squeezed each other's hands and walked away. This enviable scene is really not easy to happen in real life, because a large number of elderly people suffer from spinal problems, from common shoulder and neck tightness, backache, sore hands and feet, and even physical weakness, they can't walk far, let alone want to walk in the Woods. The problem of spine is not only the patent of the elderly, but also many young and middle-aged people often have spine-related diseases because of poor posture or overwork. Although most patients can have a good curative effect without surgery, some patients still need surgery to relieve pain and other discomfort. However, many patients always have inexplicable fear and hesitation when faced with the choice of whether to accept spinal surgery. It is not surprising that there will be such a mentality, because the traditional spinal surgery has great trauma and great damage to muscles and bones, which leads to the slow recovery of patients after surgery and takes several days to get out of bed and walk, giving people a feeling that the spine is always getting worse. However, minimally invasive spinal surgery changed the whole story. Compared with traditional surgery, the neurosurgery team of Shuanghe Hospital has been using minimally invasive spinal surgery for many years to make patients recover faster and better. Even in bone fusion surgery that requires internal fixation with bone nails, patients can still get out of bed and walk on the first day after surgery, which greatly shortens the hospitalization days. In addition, the neurosurgery team of Shuanghe Hospital also introduced spinal endoscopic surgery, which allows patients to perform nerve decompression surgery with a wound of about 1 cm under local anesthesia, giving patients with specific conditions one more choice and faster recovery. The neurosurgery department of Shuanghe Hospital has planned to purchase the latest mechanical arm in the near future, with the goal of providing patients with more accurate surgical techniques to reduce the risk of surgery.
