PERCUTAN DISCECTOM
Most of the people suffer from low back and neck pain at some point in their life. Most of them get better on their own, but 20% of them become serious and surgery may be required when the pain spreads to the leg and loss of strength in the foot.
Today, more microinvasive interventions, which we call more microinvasive interventions in waist and neck hernias, are performed that provide a quick recovery that distracts the patient from his/her work less. The important thing here is which patient will benefit from which surgery. In smaller hernias, the patient recovers with a 10-minute interventional procedure with no anesthesia with a laser, and in cases where the hernia presses on the nerves, the operation of removing the hernia completely after entering the hernia with a special needle from the outside, which we call percutaneous discectomy under imaging, without giving anesthesia to the patient, has recently been quite successful. gives results. The advantage of this intervention is that the patient does not have life-threatening anesthesia complications, there is no incision in the skin, there is no bleeding, and he can return to work on the same day, since anesthesia is not given to the patient. Now, the old major surgery methods in herniated disc have been replaced as much as possible by smaller and safer interventions such as laser and percutaneous discectomy or endoscopic interventions, these methods are applied quite successfully.
