The way of thinking that doctors call differential diagnosis is a very important thing. Of course, this is something that can be done not in five-minute cursory examinations, but in proper examinations where the patient is listened to and examined in detail. It means thinking about what else the patient might have rather than the disease that everyone thinks, that is, thinking about what is being overlooked. Indeed, for example, in a patient thought to have a herniated disc, a disease in the hip joint, urinary tract infection or stone pain, or inflammation in the pelvic bone joint called sacroiliitis can be easily overlooked. On the other hand, heart disease, depression, or nerve compression in the elbow or wrist can be easily overlooked in a patient thought to have a cervical disc herniation. In addition, pancreatic diseases or lung diseases can be easily overlooked in a patient thought to have a back hernia. If such a mistake is made, the patient's chance of benefiting from the surgery and treatment will be zero, and the existing overlooked disease will gradually worsen and sometimes lead to life-threatening problems.
You may have heard of fully closed back surgery. Likewise, neck hernias can now be treated with closed surgery. Of course, if the level of your disease is suitable for the method to be applied; That is, if you are not too late... In fact, what is meant by closed surgery is a herniated disc or neck surgery performed without cutting the skin, but by working through a thick needle inserted into the skin. This surgery is sometimes called endoscopic discectomy, sometimes called laser discectomy; It may sometimes be called annuloplasty or nucleoplasty. Of course, among the public, these surgeries are also called bloodless surgery or closed surgery. While I am at it, I would like to explain an important conceptual confusion on this subject. Namely: A fully closed intervention is not surgery anyway. In other words, an intervention performed without disrupting the integrity of the skin cannot be called surgery. After all, it can be said that there is no such method as fully closed back surgery; It cannot be possible, it is against science and reason.
In this method called fully closed surgery, no part of your body is cut, because it is not cut. You do not need to take anesthesia and your risk of contracting germs is almost non-existent. You do not need to stay in the hospital, so you can walk and go home a few hours after the procedure. You also don't have to rest for a long time, I mean you can return to work within a few days. Of course it's not magic, those who do this are surgeons. So nothing magical is being done, you will do your part; In other words, you will follow all the rules set by your surgeon and rearrange your lifestyle according to what you are told.
