DISCULAR DISCUSSION AND NECK HERNIA SURGERY WITH MICROSCOPE
Great successes have been achieved in surgeries performed with increasing technological developments in recent years. The most important of these technological developments is the operating room microscope.
The microscope device is used in many branches and is one of the most important aids in neurosurgery surgeries. Especially brain surgeries, herniated disc and cervical disc herniation surgeries are performed with this device.
Advantages of microdiscectomy;
By taking advantage of the magnification and wide field of view of the microscope, it is performed in a much smaller area. It is possible to perform surgery.
A smaller skin incision is made compared to simple discectomy. The surgery is performed through an incision of approximately 2 cm.
There are no problems such as removing stitches after the surgery. The patient can take a bath after 5 days.
Under the microscope, the nerve tissue and hernia material are clearly seen and Intervention for hernia is done under a microscope.
Complications such as bleeding and nerve damage are minimized. Blood is not used unless possible.
The risk of infection is minimal.
Since the surgery is performed through a small skin incision, the patient has fewer post-operative complaints and the recovery process is faster.
After the surgery, the patient can stand up after 6 hours on the same day.
The hospital stay is short, they can be discharged the next day.
The recurrence rate is at the lowest level.
It is recommended that he return to his daily life and start exercising 1 week after the surgery.
The most important problem at this point is for the patient to overcome his fear of recurrence of the hernia and gain self-confidence.
The patient's leg pain improves immediately after the surgery. Prolonged sitting, driving and lifting heavy loads should be avoided for one month after surgery. To prevent the recurrence of the hernia, the waist muscles should be strengthened by doing the recommended exercises.
As a result, the microdiscectomy method is the distinguished treatment method today when performed by expert hands.
