What Should You Expect After Herniated Disc Surgery?

A herniated disc is a serious health problem that causes pain and incapacity when the structure called the disc, located between the spinal bones, ruptures for various reasons and the gel inside puts pressure on the nerve roots or spinal cord. Robotic Rehabilitation Center serves as one of the leading health institutions in the problem of herniated disc with the comprehensive treatment options it offers to its patients. In addition to non-invasive (non-surgical) rehabilitation methods, which are widely preferred with their expert team and state-of-the-art technological facilities, the surgical treatment process that must be followed in certain cases is also of great importance. Let's detail what patients who are considering herniated disc surgery can expect during this process.

Comprehensive Approach to Lumbar Disc Herniation
Our Robotic Rehabilitation Center, which adopts a holistic approach in the diagnosis and treatment of herniated disc problem, determines and applies the most appropriate treatment method according to the severity and type of the disease. Before a surgical intervention, personalized physical therapy programs are applied by expert physiotherapists, during which the patient's condition is examined in detail and, if possible, relief is tried to be provided without the need for surgery. However, in cases where the pain does not improve despite all conservative treatment methods, nerve compression and neurological problems progress, surgical intervention may become inevitable.

Preoperative Evaluation
When a decision is made to perform a herniated disc surgery, the expert surgeons of our Robotic Rehabilitation Center determine the most appropriate surgery method, taking into account the general health condition of the patient. A detailed preliminary evaluation process is carried out before the surgery, and the patient's medical history, previous treatments, lifestyle and expectations are reviewed. Following this comprehensive evaluation, the patient is given detailed information about the surgery stages, possible risks and expectations; In addition, awareness is raised about what needs to be done during the post-operative recovery process.

Performing the Surgery
Disc herniation surgery is usually performed using various methods such as laminotomy, discectomy or microdiscectomy, and these surgeries are performed under general anesthesia or, in some cases, spinal anesthesia. In our Robotic Rehabilitation Center, the surgery process is performed by leading surgeons in their field, using the most modern equipment. Minimally invasive techniques stand out as approaches that prioritize patient comfort and accelerate the healing process, offering patients less pain, shorter hospital stays and a faster recovery process.
