"This trip is worth it!" Lao Xu (pseudonym), who is in his 50s, is from Yinchuan, Ningxia. He has been suffering from back and leg pain for more than 3 years. The pain in the later stage is aggravated and it is even difficult to walk. I went to several hospitals and tried various treatments, but I didn't get better.

After inquiring around, Lao Xu spent more than 40 hours on the train to Hangzhou for medical treatment. A more than 40-minute operation of the orthopedic department of Xiasha Campus of Zhejiang University Run Run Run Shaw Hospital eliminated his illness and was able to walk on the ground after the operation. Lao Xu called it "magic".

The surgery is smaller and the recovery is faster

Zhejiang University Run Run Run Hospital deputy chief physician Zhao Xing explained the cause to Lao Xu. lumbar disc herniation just stuck sciatic nerve , which caused severe lumbar and leg pain. Based on the condition and the patient's systemic condition, Zhao Xing performed intervertebral foraminioscopic surgery on Lao Xu under local anesthesia.

This is the most minimally invasive and advanced intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus removal technology. Compared with traditional surgery, it has the advantages of small incision, fast recovery, few complications, and the ability to retain normal structure of the human body. Lao Xu's incision was less than 1cm and he was successfully discharged from the hospital on the second day.

What is more convenient than Lao Xu at that time is that the orthopedic department of Run Run Run Shaw Hospital of Zhejiang University has now started the day surgery mode of intervertebral foraminioscopy. The surgery does not require general anesthesia . You can go to the ground to take care of yourself after the operation, and you can complete admission and exit within 24 hours.

Zhao Xing introduced that there are many patients with poor waist and legs, but many conservative treatments are ineffective. People who need surgery are afraid to take the surgery for a long time. They think that staying in bed for 3 months after lumbar surgery will cause great inconvenience to life, so they are often afraid and delayed the surgery.

However, waist problems cannot be delayed for too long. Sometimes, major problems occur when dragging them. Zhao Xing had treated a patient and had been delayed for 5 years before coming to the hospital for a visit. When he came, he could not raise his left instep at all. After checking, a large piece of the lumbar disc had already suppressed the nerves. Although Zhao Xing finally improved his symptoms through minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery under general anesthesia, if the patient could see it early, he could have a smaller and more minimally invasive surgery.

In addition to a large number of patients from other provinces and cities like Lao Xu, who travel thousands of miles to seek medical treatment, more than 100 doctors from all over the country (including Hong Kong and Taiwan) come to the orthopedic department of Run Run Shaw Hospital of Zhejiang University to learn minimally invasive technology every year.

According to reports, the orthopedic department of Run Run Shaw Hospital of Zhejiang University is well-known both inside and outside the province for minimally invasive spine, sports medicine and restoration and reconstruction. He led the formulation of the first OLIF lumbar surgery guide in China, and has the Zhejiang Province Key Laboratory for Research on Skeletal Muscle Degeneration and Regeneration Restoration and Transformation. The nano-"baking soda" liposomes studied by the team were used to prevent the treatment of osteoporosis , and were published in the top international journal "JACS".

Department has a complete set of imported advanced medical instruments and equipment, including posterior lumbar spine, minimally invasive operating system with oblique fusion, disc foroscope, minimally invasive surgical operating system with anterior thoracolume, minimally invasive surgical system with shoulder and knee arthroscopy, minimally invasive surgical system with shoulder and knee arthroscopy, full carbon fiber surgical bed, minimally invasive percutaneous puncture disc herniation treatment device, intraoperative neurospinal cord monitor, etc. The province has carried out arthroscopic technology and joint replacement technology earlier, almost synchronized with the international level and promoted it nationwide. As the construction unit of the China Diabetic Football League Center, the "Experience on Diagnosis and Treatment of Shaw Medical Care under the Epidemic" proposed at the beginning of the new crown epidemic was highly praised by the Chairman of the World Diabetic Football League.

High incidence in autumn and winter, don’t underestimate

Doctor reminds: Autumn and winter are the season for high incidence of low back pain, and daily prevention is very important.

Most lumbar spine diseases are caused by years of inappropriate life and work habits, coupled with trauma and degeneration. Many seemingly comfortable postures in life actually put a lot of pressure on the waist.

Sitting position

Avoid "crossing your legs" or "Ge You lying". The correct posture is to keep hip and knee joint 90 degrees, and the backrest is vertical. You can add a small cushion to the waist to keep the spine normal physiological curvature .

Change your posture every 1-2 hours. Try to avoid sitting for a long time and exercise the muscles of the waist and back properly.

Pick up things and carry heavy objects

Don’t bend down, you should pick up things or carry things by bent your knees and squatting down.

, driving,

, is not recommended to take a long time to drive, it is best not to drive continuously for more than 2 hours. If you have no choice, it is recommended to stretch and relax halfway and change your position.

Sleeping Position

Select a bed with moderate hardness. If the mattress does not experience obvious depression and deformation when you lie down, it means that this mattress is more suitable for you. Don’t have the pillow too high when sleeping. Sometimes you can place a cushion under your knees to flex your legs, thereby relaxing your back muscles.

Shoes

When walking in stilettos, your body will lean forward, not; then what about wearing heelless shoes or flat shoes? It is also not good for the waist because there is no shock absorption and buffering effect, and the weight cannot be evenly distributed on the spine, which will cause damage to the intervertebral disc. Therefore, it is best to wear a arch pad when wearing flat shoes; if you need to walk or stand for a long time, it is best to wear shoes with a height of 2-3 cm.

Don't let the waist catch a cold

Especially for people who have been sitting for a long time, the blood circulation in the waist is poor. If you catch a slight cold, it may cause back pain. Pay more attention to keeping your waist warm.
