As
we grow old the spine changes, often leading to deterioration of
bones, lumbar disc disease, muscles and ligaments. These effects of
ageing can lead to narrowing of the spinal canal and compression of
nerves at the level of lumbar spine.
The
major reason for the back pain lower and leg pain is Lumbar Spinalstenosis. This can also sometimes be caused by osteoporosis or
tumour.
By
the age of 50, degenerative changes of spine are seen in up to 93% of
people.
The
increasing pain in the leg while walking is the typical symptom of
Lumbar Spinal stenosis which decline ones activity. Other symptoms
are tingling and numbness that originates from the lower back.
These
patients are normally comfortable at rest and cannot walk long
without developing the pain. The seriousness and symptoms differs
with each person and treatment plan will be devised accordingly if
the non surgical or lumbar herniated disc treatment is suitable.
If
other medications and therapies fail to produce the expected result,
then the doctors will suggest for the Minimally Invasive LumbarDiscectomy (MILD) procedure. This process is performed through a
tubular device and is recommended to relieve the pressure on spinal
cord or compressed nerves.
MILD
is advisable for patients who have leg pain that restricts the daily
activities, numbness or leg weakness or feet etc.
MILD
is performed with the assistance of a surgical microscope andmicrosurgical procedures which requires only a small incision. This
process removes the portion of fractured disc and excess ligament
tissue which help to restore the space in the spinal canal. Patient
will get relieved from pain and restore the mobility.
Once
the surgery is done the patient will be moved to recovery room where
he or she stays for hours only. The recovery time is less compared to
the conventional lumbar surgeries.
Recent
studies have shown that MILD has successful results to about 80 % of
patients and proven to be a very low risk procedure. It is highly
noted that all patients are not suitable for MILD and is better to
consult with the doctor before choosing the MILD.
