Signs and symptoms of lumbar disc or lumbar disc herniation
In addition to back and leg pain, which are symptoms of lumbar disc herniation at the stage when surgery is needed, there are other symptoms. Due to the pressure exerted on the nerves by the ruptured disc, the patient is unable to move the ankle, knee, or whole leg. It can also sometimes lead to urinary or fecal incontinence. When people with these symptoms complain of lower extremity pain, they are always advised to have a thorough examination by a doctor.
A person with lower back or neck pain is initially encouraged to engage in regular, sustained physical activity. But in cases where a person is no longer able to cope with his pain and problem, with the help of these methods, lumbar disc surgery is recommended. Lumbar disc surgery is performed in an up-to-date manner in Yazd Mortaz Hospital.
Types of lumbar disc surgery
- Laminectomy surgery
- Microscopic surgery
- Endoscopic surgery
- Closed operations
Back pain is one of the most common human problems. But only some of the people with back pain develop lumbar disc herniation and need surgery. People who need lumbar disc surgery for treatment generally:
- Have severe pain that does not respond to medication.
- In addition to back and leg pain, they feel weak and sometimes have urinary-fecal incontinence.
After lumbar disc surgery, it is also very important to follow postoperative care. This surgery is performed by a lumbar disc surgeon or spine surgeon.
Lumbar disc surgery is a surgical procedure used to treat lower back pain caused by a herniated disc. At Mortaz Hospital, our skilled neurosurgeons use minimally invasive techniques to perform this surgery with the least possible damage to the surrounding tissues. In addition to the advanced surgical techniques, we also provide personalized care to our patients by offering custom sized braces that allow for early ambulation and comfortability during the recovery period. Our goal is to ensure the best possible outcomes and highest level of comfort for our patients throughout the entire treatment process.
