And, gradually showing a younger trend. Many people are ineffective after conservative treatment, so they choose surgery. The price of surgical treatment is very expensive, because various treatment items cost at least tens of thousands of dollars, and serious patients can even cost more than 100,000. Moreover, surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation is very risky. Although
has a relatively low incidence of other causes caused by anesthesia, about one in a thousand, it does not rule out that anesthesia causes damage to the body.

Therefore, it is necessary to go to a regular large-scale hospital for surgery, because the equipment and medical measures are relatively complete.
