was originally stiff legs and unstable walking, but after going to a private hospital for medical treatment, he was treated so that he could never stand up. In early 2014, Nanjing citizen Li Yong sued the hospital involved. After identification, Li Yong constituted a grade 8 disability, and the Nanjing Gulou Court First Instance Hospital assumed 80% of the liability and compensated Li Yong for various losses of 559,000 yuan.
"Minimally Invasive" Surgery: The cervical spine is not cured but deteriorated.
Li Yong, born in 1963, is a native of Nanjing and works in a large shopping mall in Nanjing. He is a middle-level cadre of the shopping mall. At the end of 2012, Li Yong suddenly experienced stiffness in both lower limbs and unsteady walking without obvious incentives, and he was unable to go to work normally. On May 16, 2013, Li Yong came to Nanjing Yangtze River Hospital (hereinafter referred to as Yangtze River Hospital) for treatment. The hospital admitted Li Yong to the hospital for cervical disc herniation. The next day, Yangtze River Hospital performed minimally invasive surgery on Li Yong's cervical spine. After the operation, Li Yong's symptoms improved and his walking gait was smoother than before treatment. On May 20, Li Yong was discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate.
Li Yong originally thought he would be able to go to work normally after recuperating for a period of time. He did not want to have neck pain on the 6th day after discharge, and gradually numbness of both upper limbs, accompanied by decreased muscle strength, and then involuntary twitching of both lower limbs and significant decrease in muscle strength. The symptoms are more serious than before the treatment. On June 7, Li Yong went to Nanjing Zhongda Hospital for treatment, and was diagnosed with “cervical spinal cord injury with paralysis after minimally invasive cervical spondylosis.” On July 4, Li Yong went through a major operation in the hospital. , Suffered enough. After treatment, although Li Yong's condition was controlled, his whole person was almost paralyzed. Since August 21, Li Yong has been transferred to other hospitals for rehabilitation, but his recovery has not been ideal. Wonderful reading: Prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis. Don't step into three misunderstandings.
Extended reading: Is the operation of a herniated disc reliable? Disc herniation surgery is not terrible. The real cause of lumbar spine pain is not herniated nucleus pulposus and bone hyperplasia, but bone dislocation, which causes compression to the nerves, edema, bones and peripheral nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, and muscles that are not in harmony. This is the culprit. As long as the misalignment is corrected, the patient's symptoms will gradually alleviate or disappear, and the disease will heal. Another point to be explained is that severe cervical disc herniation, such as the weakness of both lower limbs, may lead to paralysis, which requires surgical treatment, but lumbar disc herniation generally does not cause paralysis.
Traditional open surgery for herniated disc has been carried out for decades so far, and safety is guaranteed. But when people talk about intervertebral disc surgery, they think of bloody horror scenes. Although surgical treatment of intervertebral disc herniation completely reduces the pressure of the intervertebral disc, it is easy to destroy the bone structure clinically, causing spine instability, resulting in a high recurrence rate. Minimally invasive treatment of
intervertebral disc herniation can reduce the original 10 to 20 cm surgical incision to a few millimeters, or even no wound, which greatly reduces the trauma and scars caused by the operation.
Minimally invasive treatment of intervertebral disc herniation to avoid complications caused by spinal instability and intraspinal scar formation due to large surgical trauma. Minimally invasive treatment of intervertebral disc herniation has better therapeutic effects than traditional conservative treatments or surgical treatments, which can be called all The "most gentle knife" in the operation.
The traditional treatment of intervertebral disc herniation, such as acupuncture and massage, can only be judged by the doctor’s years of practical experience and hand feeling. It may be counterproductive to severely degenerated intervertebral disc, spinal stenosis, intervertebral disc herniation, and intraspinal freedom. Has a certain degree of "blindness".
At present, the minimally invasive treatment of intervertebral disc herniation is completely free of this drawback, such as foraminal endoscopy, posterior discoscopy, small incision discectomy, microscopic lumbar disc minimally invasive surgery, etc., all through professional optical imaging systems, which can The surgical site and operation process are clearly displayed. The doctor can operate under visual conditions, and the intervention positioning is more accurate, which greatly reduces the risk of surgery.
