Does vertebral hemangioma require surgery?

Vertebral hemangioma is a more serious disease. If the patient does not have clinical symptoms such as lower limb pain and urinary incontinence in the early stage of the disease, surgery is not necessary. But if these symptoms are caused by the influence of vertebral hemangioma, then surgical treatment is necessary. So, what is the method of treating vertebral hemangioma?

1. Surgical treatment:

In recent years, my country's medical level has developed rapidly, and many benign tumors and cancer diseases are treated surgically. At present, the elimination surgery of vertebral hemangioma is relatively perfect in technology, and patients do not need to worry too much. But after all, some large-scale surgical operations are huge and have certain risks. In clinical medicine, minimally invasive surgery is often used to eliminate vertebral hemangioma. Minimally invasive surgery has low risks, the wound area will not be too large, and there will be no obvious scars after postoperative recovery.

2. Conservative treatment:

Conservative treatment is also a common method for eliminating vertebral hemangiomas. This method is generally aimed at patients who cannot undergo surgical treatment or have milder conditions. Not all patients with vertebral hemangiomas can be treated surgically. When a patient examines a vertebral hemangioma, it is generally necessary to discuss whether surgical treatment can be chosen to eliminate the disease based on the location of the vertebral hemangioma and various causes. If the patient accepts conservative treatment, the doctor will usually recommend the use of medication to control the vertebral hemangioma in the body. The actual effect of drug control is still very good. However, for patients with worsening conditions, conservative treatment no longer has a good therapeutic effect and can only temporarily relieve symptoms.

The above are two commonly used methods for treating vertebral hemangioma. No matter which method the patient chooses to eliminate vertebral hemangioma, he must observe physical changes regularly. If postoperative complications or wound infection occur, he must go to the hospital in time. Patients must remember not to blindly take medicine or self-treat at home to avoid serious consequences.
