1. What are the precautions for spinal surgery?

1。

Get into the habit of exercising every day. In principle, you can use sports that can make joints move, such as swimming, soft exercises, dancing, etc.

Sports that can't move the spine, such as cycling, or sports that will collide with each other, such as judo and basketball, should be avoided. As for jogging, it is discouraged, because jogging may lead to inflammation of the tendons in the soles of the feet or heels, which may make walking difficult.

2。 It is very important to maintain a good posture and sitting posture. Take a deep breath regularly every day, expand your chest, straighten your trunk and do stretching exercises to strengthen the softness of your back muscles and abdomen.

These exercises can soften the stiffness, maintain the ductility of joints and delay the development of diseases. 3。

If you have a spinal fusion or a bamboo spine, you need to avoid overstressing or bending the spine. 4。

Because the patient's load-bearing ability decreases, it is necessary to avoid strong load-bearing and aggravate the lesion. Avoid holding a posture for a long time (such as lying on the sofa watching TV or surfing the Internet for a long time). If you want to sit for a long time, get up and exercise for at least ten minutes every hour.

Don't use back restraint (it will reduce mobility), which will aggravate spondylitis. 5。

Sleep disorder is one of the common major problems. Avoid pillows and soft beds when sleeping.

6。 You can take a hot bath in the morning to improve your back stiffness.

Hot compress is also effective in relieving local pain. 7。

Don't smoke, so as not to cause lung injury. 8。

Pay attention to prevent trauma, be sure to wear a seat belt when driving, and try not to ride a motorcycle. 9。

In cold and humid seasons, it is more important to prevent the recurrence of symptoms. 10。

Pay attention to the following symptoms that may be related to ankylosing spondylitis. Degree of low back pain and morning stiffness, peripheral joint pain and limited range of motion (especially wrist joint), hematuria or burning urine, dysentery, symptoms of thoracic and cervical vertebrae, red eye or blurred vision, sudden limb weakness or dysuria.

1 1。 Gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract infections often induce spondylitis. Pay attention to food hygiene, drink more boiled water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and hold back urine and constipation.

12。 Pay attention to whether other family members have symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis, such as low back pain and morning stiffness.

If yes, see a doctor as soon as possible.

2. What is the main treatment of spinal surgery?

Spinal degeneration, trauma, tumor, inflammation and deformity lead to spinal dysfunction, which is usually divided into spinal trauma and spinal osteopathy.

The pathological changes of the spine often lead to the injury of spinal cord, nerves, blood vessels and other structures, causing neck and shoulder pain, lumbago and leg pain, numbness, fatigue, unstable walking, poor defecation and sexual dysfunction of limbs. Most spinal diseases can be cured by conservative treatments such as physical therapy, but excessive reliance on conservative measures will often delay or aggravate the disease even if the cause of neck, shoulder, back and leg pain is unclear.

Those with the above symptoms should be evaluated, diagnosed and treated by professional spinal surgeons. The common diseases in spinal surgery are as follows: 1. Spinal trauma: all kinds of fresh and old neck, chest and lumbar fractures and corresponding spinal cord injuries, accompanied by complete or incomplete paralysis; 2. Spinal osteopathy: degenerative diseases (cervical spondylosis, disc herniation, spinal stenosis, lumbar spondylolisthesis); Deformities (scoliosis and hunchback, hunchback, torticollis, hemivertebra, etc. ); Tumors (benign and malignant spinal tumors, intramedullary and extramedullary spinal tumors); Spinal tuberculosis (with or without nerve loss symptoms).
