تبخير وشفط الغضروف بدون جراحة: الحل الآمن للمشاكل الغضروفية

Chronic pain doctors resort to the process of vaporization and suction of cartilage without surgery to help treat problems of lumbar and cervical cartilage, especially for the elderly, as they are the most vulnerable group to bone problems, such as osteoarthritis, pain in the spine and back, and herniated disc resulting from poor routine over the years. 

Many people also suffer from back pain due to the work routine, which is often done in a sitting position for long periods in incorrect positions that have become accustomed to. Also, because everyone fears surgical operations due to their harmful effects and side effects, and because they are not suitable for all groups due to their high price, and because they are not suitable for people with chronic diseases or the elderly, many resort to taking anti-inflammatory medications, painkillers, or physical therapy. In the end, if the condition is severe, those affected go to a pain doctor using modern techniques, including suction and vaporization techniques. Dr. Hesham Al-Azzizi is considered the best doctor you can resort to due to his extensive experience in the field of pain treatment over many years, and with him a full team of expert doctors capable of dealing with patients. The diagnosis is made with great accuracy, and the necessary x-rays and tests are performed to determine the exact affected area and the resulting symptoms.

 

Non-surgical cartilage evaporation and suction

Non-surgical disc vaporization and suction is a reliable method due to its ease and being considered one of the best modern techniques. It relies on the treating physician inserting a tiny catheter, no larger than 2 mm, into the nucleus of the damaged disc causing chronic pain. This needle transmits x-rays to break up the disc into very small pieces, facilitating suction. This reduces the area of ​​the herniated disc and reduces pressure on the damaged nerve causing pain. All of this is accomplished without the need for surgical intervention, incisions, or bone damage.
This procedure is performed under the supervision of a pain specialist, such as Dr. Hesham Al-Azzizi, to ensure the procedure’s success and avoid any resulting side effects.

Types of herniated discs treated by cartilage evaporation and suction

Non-surgical disc vaporization and suction treats two types of lumbar and cervical disc herniation. The procedure must be performed by a specialist experienced in pain management to ensure the procedure is successful without any problems or complications.

A person with cervical disc damage feels a set of symptoms that require the intervention of a pain doctor to treat the condition and try to live a normal life and practice daily activities. The symptoms are:

• Feeling pain and numbness in some parts of the body, especially around the affected area, which is the neck, such as the upper arm.
• Frequent tingling in the arms and hands.
• Severe pain in the neck and surrounding muscles and tissues, and inability to perform normal movements such as walking, sitting, and standing.
• Feeling unbalanced and dizzy, especially if the injury is located in a sensitive area, such as the spinal cord.

As for the symptoms of lumbar disc disease that require a pain management doctor:

• Severe pain that extends from the lower back to the buttocks and may extend to the feet. This is called sciatic nerve damage, also known as sciatica.
• Prickling sensations in and around the lower back, electric shocks, and numbness.
• A feeling of imbalance and severe weakness in the foot when walking, especially if there is severe damage and inflammation to the nerve responsible for the foot in the spinal cord.
• Severe pain in the lower back resulting from a tear in the outer layer of the lumbar cartilage.

Advantages of non-surgical cartilage vaporization and suction technology for treating herniated discs

There are a number of advantages to the cartilage vaporization and suction technique, especially if performed by a specialist doctor in a well-equipped center whose doctors pay attention to detail and sterilization, using the latest international equipment. These advantages are represented in the following points:

• The procedure is performed without the need for general anesthesia. The doctor simply uses local anesthesia to avoid the complications and problems of general anesthesia.
• A simple procedure that targets only the affected area and does not require removing or damaging any part of the spine.
• It does not damage surrounding tissues or nerves and does not affect the back muscles like surgical procedures may.
• The procedure does not affect the movement of the spine, so it is very safe.
• A simple and easy procedure that takes no more than 30 minutes with a specialized doctor who is able to calm the patient and take his/her mind into consideration.
• The patient recovers within a short period of time after the procedure and does not need to stay in bed like other surgical procedures. He only needs to take painkillers for a short period to avoid any minor pain resulting from the procedure, and then he can return to his daily life and routine.
• Through it, the part causing the pain and pressing on the nerve is extracted.
• If the patient has previously undergone a surgical procedure that failed, he can undergo a cartilage vaporization and suction procedure without causing any harm to the patient and without the possibility of any negative effects.

Does non-surgical cartilage vaporization and suction require general anesthesia?

Cartilage suction and vaporization does not require general anesthesia. In most cases, it is performed under local anesthesia, which helps the patient remain conscious during the procedure. The procedure takes only about half an hour with a distinguished doctor specializing in pain management. In some special cases, the patient may require a light dose of sedative to help them relax more during the procedure.

Is there a possibility of failure of the cartilage vaporization and suction procedure without surgery?

The success or failure of this type of treatment does not depend on the technique itself, but rather is linked to the degree of disc herniation and the patient’s health condition. Disc herniation has many stages, and according to each stage, the appropriate treatment is determined.

• In the early stages of a herniated disc (stages 1 and 2), the patient is treated by strengthening the muscles surrounding the spine and rehabilitating the body through physical therapy or specific exercises designed to address this problem. This helps the patient regain his activity and return to his normal daily life.
• Stage III herniated discs require drug treatment under the supervision of a specialist, such as Professor Dr. Hesham Al-Azzizi, a consultant in chronic pain, spine, and joints. In some cases, a simple endoscopic intervention may be required to relieve pressure on the nerves.
• Stage IV herniated disc: At this stage, intervention using a disc aspiration and vaporization procedure becomes necessary to remove the damaged portion of the disc that is pressing on the nerves. After the procedure, the patient can gradually return to normal activities.
• Stage 5 herniated disc is one of the most difficult and dangerous stages, as the herniation is very advanced and only complete surgical intervention is appropriate to repair the damage. In this case, drug therapy or simple interventions are not sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cartilage suction and vaporization technique?

If a patient has a herniated disc that puts pressure on the nerves, he or she will suffer from severe, unbearable pain. In this case, a disc suction procedure is performed, in which a very fine needle is inserted using interventional radiology to extract part of the disc nucleus that is pressing on the nerves. This reduces the pressure and results in pain relief. This is a very safe procedure that does not require general anesthesia, but only local anesthesia, and is performed within a few minutes, allowing the patient to enjoy a better life afterward.

As for cartilage vaporization, it is considered almost the same idea as cartilage suction. Instead of removing a part of the cartilage, a laser or a technique such as radiofrequency is used. A fine needle is inserted into the damaged cartilage and the energy is directed to vaporize and cauterize the damaged part of the cartilage, which results in reducing the size of the cartilage that is pressing on the nerves, thus alleviating the resulting pain.

Is a herniated disc considered a serious disease?

A herniated disc is considered a serious matter in one case, which is when it presses on the nerves, because it has serious complications if left untreated. However, in reality, a herniated disc is not considered a serious matter because it has many medical interventions, including home interventions, physical therapy, drug interventions, interventions using modern technologies, or surgical interventions. Each case has a different treatment depending on the degree of the herniation that the person is suffering from, as the stages were mentioned in the article.
