Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation (Changzhou, Danyang)
The new treatment of lumbar disc herniation is "radio frequency+ozone". New breakthrough clinical research shows that radiofrequency thermocoagulation can retract the protruding part, and with ozone ablation technology, one-time anti-inflammatory and analgesic can make patients recover quickly and consolidate the curative effect. Retract nucleus pulposus, repair annulus fibrosus, diminish inflammation and relieve pain. "AD radiofrequency thermocoagulation target ablation" completes the retraction of the protrusion at one time and accurately locates it under the C-arm X-ray machine. Under the real-time monitoring of image guidance, the puncture needle with a diameter of only 0.7mm directly acts on the diseased nucleus pulposus under the precise guidance of the navigation system, and performs thermal coagulation ablation to denature, coagulate, contract and reduce the volume, relieve the compression and repair the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus. Radio frequency+ozone is the latest minimally invasive therapy for lumbar disc herniation, which was initiated by the Department of Orthopaedics of Changzhou PLA 102 Hospital. Ozone ablation is used to relieve inflammation and pain, and ozone is injected at the same time. Ozone is a physiological activating factor, which increases oxygen supply to tissues and improves cell metabolism. It can oxidize and dissolve hyperplastic fibrous tissue, inactivate some chemical and inflammatory pain-causing substances produced in the process of degeneration of nucleus pulposus, quickly relieve pain and eliminate the pressure in the disc, thus achieving the therapeutic purpose. The two techniques are perfectly combined, and the curative effect of one operation is better. First, the safety is high, computer image monitoring and thermal coagulation can treat the protruding part, and ozone can eliminate inflammation without damaging the normal nucleus pulposus and peripheral nerves. Second, the curative effect is good, and it goes directly to the affected area. The radio frequency needle is accurately placed on the affected area to directly eliminate the protruding intervertebral disc tissue, and at the same time, ozone is injected to eliminate inflammation and play an anti-inflammatory and analgesic role; Third, the injury is small and painless, the puncture needle is only 0.7 mm, and the surgical wound is only the size of the eye of a needle, which heals quickly; Fourth, quick recovery and short hospitalization time. The whole process does not need antibiotics, painkillers, etc. The special structure of ozone has no allergic reaction to human body and remains in the body. The strong oxidation ability of ozone makes the infection rate in the body almost zero. The average hospitalization time is 5-7 days. Experts pointed out that the prominent radio frequency retraction, ozone anti-inflammatory and analgesic, the combination of the two can be completed at one time, one puncture needle and two treatment operations. Generally, the whole operation can be completed in 30 minutes, and some patients can be discharged within a few hours after operation.
