The Program of Radio Frequency Needle Minimally Invasive Surgical Treatment

At present, the treatment of lumbar disc herniation has a variety of methods, can be divided into conservative treatment, minimally invasive interventional and surgical treatment of three ways. Conservative treatment can make the majority of patients with lumbar disc herniation to varying degrees, to improve the pain symptoms, but easy to recurrent, some patients because of annulus fibrosus rupture, nucleus pulposus into the spinal canal serious symptoms of nerve root irritation. Surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation although a good effect, but easy to change the balance and stability of the original lumbar spine, recurrence after surgery is more difficult. Therefore, RF puncture needle is gradually applied to the medical field.

Minimally invasive interventional treatment of disc herniation is a new type of treatment mode between traditional conservative treatment and open surgery. In recent years, the interventional treatment of radio-frequency needle has attracted more and more attention and acceptance by clinicians and patients due to its small injury, safety, low cost and quick response. RF puncture needle electrode through the continuous generation of RF current, the role of the organization to generate heat, and can determine the nature of the surrounding tissue and electrophysiology to the nerve and the distance, in the neck, waist, back, sacrococcygeal pain treatment is widely used .

It is reported that the lumbar intervertebral disc RF puncture needle reached 60 ~ 80 ° ablative nucleus, effective treatment of disk-derived low back pain. Radiofrequency needle thermal coagulation target ablation of the role of principle is the role of RF current directly on the disc herniation, ablation of prominent nucleus pulposus, and to achieve the intervertebral disc tissue such as nerve root, artery, spinal cord decompression purposes Eliminate and relieve clinical symptoms. At the same time, the local temperature can be increased in a short period of time, thereby improving the local circulation and reducing the inflammatory reaction of the nerve root. The technology requires radio frequency puncture needle puncture must be accurate to reach the disc herniation target in order to make prominent nucleus pulposus effectively coagulation, atrophy, while the resulting warm effect on the injury of the fibrous ring, root edema, spinal inflammatory response Have a good therapeutic effect.
