Surgery is inevitable in approximately 3-4% of herniated disc patients. In two cases, herniated disc surgery is performed. One is hernias that cannot be corrected by other methods, and the other is some conditions that require emergency surgery (progressive loss of strength, urinary incontinence, etc.).
MICRODISCECTOMY (HEART HERNIA SURGERY)
Microdiscectomy is the most common waist surgery currently performed. It is a hernia surgery method. This operation is performed under general or spinal anesthesia. After an approximately 3 cm skin incision, the muscles in this area are cut and some bone tissue is removed. After the ligaments under the bone are removed, the herniated tissue that needs to be removed is reached and the herniated disc material is removed. The duration of microdiscectomy surgery is 40-60 minutes and the hospital stay is one day.
CLOSED DISC HERNIATED SURGERY
Full Endoscopic Disc Herniation Surgery: It has become popular in the world in recent years and provides great comfort to the patient. This surgery is performed only under local anesthesia. Disc distance is reached with the help of a lateral endoscope. Only 0.5cm. After the first skin incision, the hernia tissue, which needs to be removed, is reached without cutting any muscles and without touching the bone structure and ligaments. Therefore, fully closed herniated disc surgery is a much less traumatic (damaging) method for the patient than microdiscectomy. In this method; The patient does not take the risk of anesthesia and can be discharged on the same day, and since almost no damage is caused to normal anatomical tissues, the patient's return to active life is much shorter.
