EDISCSCULPTDuring herniated disc surgery, the root cause of symptoms - the herniation - is removed. As a result, patients should no longer experience herniated disc symptoms after surgery. However, depending on the type of surgery, some pain management will be needed to treat the effects of the surgery itself.
Open Spine Surgery
For years, the only surgery available for herniated discs was open spine surgery, a procedure in which a large incision is made to access the spine. Tools like scalpels are used to extract the herniation, and it is sometimes necessary to perform major procedures like the removal of bone or vertebral fusion for a successful surgery.
The recovery period for this type of surgery is lengthy. Directly after open spine surgery, patients need to stay in the hospital for several days. The invasive procedure is painful without the use of medication, so pain management of the hospital stay. After returning home, patients slowly start to feel better and regain their mobility. After making a full recovery, patients will be free of symptoms from the herniated disc and from healing after the surgery.
Laser Spine Surgery
The most modern form of herniated disc surgery is laser surgery. During this procedure, only one or two small incisions are made, in order to insert a camera, a laser, and special tools if needed. The laser is used to dissolve the herniation, and major surgical interventions aren't usually necessary.
Laser spine surgery patients enjoy a much shorter and more comfortable recovery time. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and patients generally feel their symptoms relieved as the procedure takes place. While movement will be restricted directly after the surgery, patients generally don't feel much discomfort during the healing process, especially when the physician and patient are proactive about pain management measures.
