"How soon can I ambulate after undergoing minimally invasive spinal endoscopy surgery?"

After 1-2 days of minimally invasive intervertebral foramenoscopy surgery, patients can get out of bed for moderate activities. Postoperative drug therapy, physical therapy, and enhanced daily care are also necessary. If abnormalities occur, medical attention should be sought promptly. Minimally invasive intervertebral foramenoscopy surgery is a type of minimally invasive procedure performed outside the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc. Under the direct view of an endoscope, the diseased tissue can be clearly seen and then removed. This type of surgery is relatively short, with minimal intraoperative damage and fast postoperative recovery. Usually, patients can get out of bed for moderate activities 1-2 days after surgery, but excessive activities and prolonged standing should be avoided. Postoperatively, patients can take oral medications to nourish nerves and reduce inflammation and pain, such as Mecobalamin Tablets, Ibuprofen Sustained-Release Capsules, and Celecoxib Capsules, to alleviate pain and repair damaged nerves. It is also important to strengthen care of the surgical incision, keeping it clean to prevent infection.

During postoperative recovery, patients should follow a light diet, avoiding cold and greasy foods, refrain from alcohol consumption, and engage in reasonable waist functional exercises as advised by their doctors, which is conducive to recovery.
