Is lumbar radiofrequency surgery good?

Lumbar disease has affected and troubled many people, so we must pay attention to the treatment method of lumbar disease. Lumbar flat surgery is commonly used, mainly for the treatment of cervical and lumbar disc herniation and other problems, with very good results.

1. Patients with low back and leg pain are relatively common clinically. Most of their symptoms are caused by herniated disc. The main causes of the disease are degenerative changes, trauma and strain of the lumbar disc, which causes the annulus fibrosus, the main support of the intervertebral disc, to become weak or even rupture. The weak or ruptured annulus fibrosus is mostly located behind or behind the intervertebral disc. The lumbar disc protrudes into the spinal canal to the rear, or ruptures and prolapses, causing adjacent tissues, such as spinal nerve roots and spinal cord, to be stimulated or compressed, resulting in clinical symptoms such as low back pain, unilateral or bilateral lower limb numbness and pain.

2. Among the numerous treatment methods, radiofrequency target thermocoagulation is the safest, most effective, least painful, least complication-intensive, simplest to operate, lowest cost, and most widely used new treatment method for cervical and lumbar disc herniation, which can treat the herniated area without damaging the normal disc tissue. It is a qualitative leap in the minimally invasive treatment of disc herniation that breaks the entire traditional disc treatment procedure.

3. It can be said that radiofrequency ablation is the new technology that has developed most rapidly and is most widely accepted by both doctors and patients. At present, radiofrequency ablation technology is quite mature, and its indications have developed from the original simple paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (mainly atrioventricular bypass pathway and atrioventricular node dual pathway) to idiopathic ventricular tachycardia, frequent ventricular premature beats, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, etc. For common paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, the success rate of radiofrequency ablation treatment can reach more than 95%, and the postoperative recurrence rate is 1-3%.

4. After radiofrequency ablation, the patient must rest in bed as ordered by the doctor. The venous puncture site should be compressed with a sandbag for 6 hours, and the arterial puncture site should be compressed with a sandbag for 8-12 hours. The affected limb should be immobilized (restricted to remain immobile), and attention should be paid to observe whether there is bleeding. Easily digestible food should be given during bed rest. The heart rate and rhythm should be closely observed in the early stage after radiofrequency ablation. If any discomfort occurs, report it to the doctor in time. If necessary, electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound and chest X-ray examinations should be performed. If you feel that tachycardia recurs after the operation, but it has not actually occurred, do not be nervous and no special treatment is required.
