NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT METHODS FOR WAIST AND NECK HERNIAS (RESECTION TREATMENTS)
Discectomy is the most common surgical treatment used for herniated discs. Intervertebral discs are substances located between the bones of the spine and firmly attached to the vertebrae, connecting the vertebrae. Ruptures occur when the outer surface of the disc, called the ‘annulus fibrosus’, weakens due to age and injuries. The inner soft, flexible part of the disc called ‘nucleus pulposus’ deteriorates, moves out of place and protrudes through the tears in the outer layer. Slipping, sagging and bulging of the disc is called herniation. In the medical literature, disc herniation is called disc herniation. When the inner disc material exceeds the posterior outer surface border, it can put pressure on very sensitive nerve tissue. A bulging disc can compress or damage the nerve root, resulting in pain referred to one or both legs, loss of strength, and numbness, depending on the nerve root or nerve roots it affects.
Discectomy is performed to remove herniated disc fragments and damaged parts, thus relieving pressure on the nerve root and relieving pain. These methods generally include microsurgery, endoscopic and open surgical discectomy methods in disc surgery. Disc surgery involves small incisions in the skin at the top of the spine, removal of some ligament and bone materials, and removal of disc fragments.
With the innovation technologies that have developed in recent years, current treatment approaches for patients without sudden-onset neurological deficits are also changing. With RECESSION TREATMENTS, which have started to be used frequently in lumbar hernias in recent years, it is possible to get rid of hernias permanently by applying one or more of them at the same time, without surgery or anesthesia, in a single session in 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the hernia, its time of occurrence and location, and by being discharged on the same day.
