ENDOSCOPIC LUMBAR DISC HERNIATION SURGERY HELPS RUSSIAN TOURIST RECOVER IN JUST 24 HOURS

ENDOSCOPIC LUMBAR DISC HERNIATION SURGERY HELPS RUSSIAN TOURIST RECOVER IN JUST 24 HOURS

A 38-year-old Russian tourist recently underwent successful endoscopic lumbar disc herniation surgery at Tam Tri Nha Trang General Hospital, making a rapid recovery after suffering from an L5-S1 disc herniation compressing a nerve root during his vacation in Nha Trang.

Approximately two months earlier, he had begun experiencing lower back pain and received conservative medical treatment in Russia. However, while visiting Nha Trang, his pain progressively worsened and radiated down his left leg, making walking extremely difficult. He eventually required a wheelchair for mobility and developed weakness in extending the big toe of his left foot.

An MRI scan performed at Tam Tri Nha Trang General Hospital confirmed a left-sided L5-S1 lumbar disc herniation with a large herniated disc compressing the left L5 nerve root. Before surgery, his pain intensity was assessed at VAS 8, significantly affecting his daily activities and mobility.

After consultation with the hospital's Neurosurgery and Spine Surgery specialists, the patient opted for endoscopic lumbar discectomy. Compared with traditional open surgery, this minimally invasive technique offers several advantages, including a smaller incision, less postoperative pain, faster recovery, and a shorter hospital stay.

The procedure was completed successfully. Within just 24 hours after surgery, his pain score had decreased to VAS 2, and he was able to walk almost normally. After two days of treatment, he was discharged from the hospital and able to continue enjoying his vacation.

When diagnosed and treated promptly, a herniated disc can prevent further nerve damage, reduce the risk of long-term neurological complications, and help patients return to their normal lives more quickly. The patient's decision to undergo surgery during his holiday in Vietnam reflects his confidence in the expertise of the medical team and the advanced spinal treatment techniques available at Tam Tri Nha Trang General Hospital.
