Is lumbar intervertebral foraminal surgery safe?

Lumbar intervertebral foraminal surgery is generally safe.

Lumbar intervertebral foraminal surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, which is a relatively mature surgery. At the same time, minimally invasive lumbar intervertebral foraminal surgery only makes a small incision on the patient's body, so the degree of damage to the body is small, and the patient recovers quickly after surgery. In addition, this surgery is generally performed under local anesthesia, and compared with traditional surgery that needs to be performed under general anesthesia, it has little impact on the central nervous system, respiratory system, etc., so the patient chooses this surgery with a higher degree of safety.
