Modern Treatment of Herniated Disc L5-S1 with Endoscope

Abstract

Endoscopic hernia removal is currently one of the most effective and, at the same time, relatively safe methods of treating intervertebral hernia of the lumbosacral spine. The vast majority of the adult population periodically experiences pain in the spine. In severe forms of osteochondrosis, compression of one or more spinal nerve roots by a herniated disc develops. In this case, the patient develops pain in a "band" throughout the arm or leg, sensitivity is impaired, strength in certain muscles may decrease. Initially, conservative treatment is carried out by a neurologist. If treatment is ineffective for 1-2 months, surgical treatment is indicated — removal of a herniated disc. It is urgently necessary to perform surgery with the development of gross weakness in the extremities and violation of urination.
