Frequently Asked Questions
Quick and helpful answers to common inquiries.
How Long Does The Percutaneous Discectomy Take?
The procedure from preparation to the actual act is an outpatient procedure that takes about an hour. It is performed under local anesthesia to avoid the risk of general anesthesia. The procedure is performed by your orthopedic with the help of nurses.
What Should Patients Expect After Surgery?
Percutaneous discectomy is favored by the orthopedic because it has successfully reduced pain and the use of pain medication. Studies also show it has a functionality increase in up to 90% of the patients who have received the treatment.
Recovery from the procedure is fast as there is no interference with muscles or bones during the procedure. Your doctor will discharge you an hour after the procedure and resume normal activities within a week.
The procedure has far fewer complications in comparison to open surgical discectomy.
Who Is A Candidate For Shoulder Arthroscopy?
Shoulder arthroscopy is frequently recommended to those who have painful symptoms that do not respond to nonsurgical treatment. Rest, physical therapy, and drugs or injections that can lower inflammation and allow wounded tissues to heal are nonsurgical options. Inflammation is a natural reply of the body to damage or disease. Inflammation produces swelling, pain, and stiffness in a sick or damaged shoulder joint. The majority of shoulder disorders are caused by injury, misuse, and age-related wear and strain. Many diseases affecting the rotator cuff tendons, labrum, articular cartilage, and other soft tissues around the joint can be relieved with shoulder arthroscopy.
How Long Does It Take To Recover?
Your doctor will be discharged on the same day unless there are complications. You will likely experience soreness and discomfort in the injection area, but it will ease out after about 48 hours. Your orthopedic will prescribe pain medication for the first day and the second one if necessary.
Your orthopedic will also advise you to take it easy then gradually resume your normal activities as you feel comfortable. If there is no complication, you will continue your regular activities a week after the procedure.
The Role Ceda Orthopedic Group Plays
Your orthopedic surgeon will oversee the procedure and will schedule the follow-up visits until such a point that you feel prepared to resume your normal activities. The orthopedic also does a check-up to ensure you have no other underlying procedure causing the condition. They are in charge of medication and recommending physical therapy.
