Surgical procedure

So, what exactly is lumbar rhizotomy? The treatment is performed in the lumbar region of the spine, which are five bones in the lower back. The Cleveland Clinic describes the lumbar vertebrae as L1 to L5, the largest in the entire spine. In that area, during this procedure, the nerves are treated in an effort to relieve pain. Rhizotomy, also known as neurotomy, involves the interruption of a nerve. A pain management specialist will consider performing this procedure if a patient is experiencing pain that does not respond to other treatments.

The procedure itself is considered minimally invasive surgery with the goal of relieving nerve pain in the back by dampening the nerve fibers responsible for carrying pain signals to the brain. The website performs the procedure under general or local anesthesia. Surgically, the nerve fiber is cut. The surgeon inserts an electrode using fluoroscopy to find the exact location of the problem nerve or nerves, which are cushioned to prevent pain messages from reaching the brain. Experts say that lumbar rhizotomy can relieve pain for several years, until the nerve regains sensation.

The intervention only lasts a few minutes and the pain is minimal. Recovery from lumbar rhizotomy is about a week, and there may be some localized pain, swelling, or bruising where the rhizotomy was performed.

Reports vary, but say that the success rate for this surgery ranges between €1 billion and €1 billion. 70% a 80% and in a few years, the pain may return with regrowth of the nerve.
