On July 6, Dr. Tran Vu Hoang Duong, Head of the Department of Cranio-Spine Surgery 2 at Xuyen A General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, said that when the male patient came here for examination, he was diagnosed with degenerative dehydration in the disc space L3-L4, L4-L5, and degenerative joint blocks L3-L4, L4-5.
After consultation, the doctors concluded that the best method for the above case was to create a disc by radiofrequency discplasty. The surgery was successful, after surgery the patient's health improved rapidly, with reduced back pain and good mobility.

Dr. Duong said that radiofrequency discplasty is a minimally invasive intervention method that helps restructure the disc. Only local anesthesia is required, through the skin the doctor will insert a small needle system with electrodes into the disc. It is performed safely under a continuous X-ray screen. Using a radiofrequency generator system with temperature control and time monitoring on the screen. The energy emitted from the radiofrequency waves will regenerate the disc structure. Thereby solving the cause of pain.

Radiofrequency discplasty has outstanding advantages such as: short implementation time; very small skin incision; long-term pain relief, avoiding the need to use pain relievers repeatedly.
