Eat a vegetarian for many years and do not eat at noon.

Wuhan Evening News July 8th (Correspondent Xie Jing Liu Xia) mentioned health. The first reaction of many people is to eat light diet and eat more fruits and vegetables. You can eat too light for a long time and may be more "hurt". Recently, Grandma Xu, 85, was accompanied by a wheelchair at the family of Tianyou Hospital/Tongji Tianyou Hospital with the family of Wuhan University of Science and Technology. After examination, the doctor found that Grandma Xu's lumbar spine has become a "hardest hit area."

According to the family members, the elderly are vegetarian on weekdays. They pay attention to lunch, and the lumbar spine has always been bad. For decades, the waist 4 vertebrae slipped off twice, secondary disc herniation, bone and ligament hyperplasia, leading to severe lumbar spinal stenosis, nervous compression, and even loss of walking ability. "She can only take two steps at home at home, sit down, take two steps, and can't go out." The old man wondered if he was old and did not toss for surgery. Some time ago, the waist 3 vertebrae fractured again. The unbearable pain completely defeated Grandma Xu's spirit, not only reduced appetite, but also unable to walk completely. The family members found Professor Guan Hanfeng at the orthopedic department of Tongji Hospital where Tianyou Hospital stayed in Tianyou Hospital.

"For Grandma Xu's condition, the best treatment method is to obliquely enter the road lumbar intervertebral interstopia (OLIF), no need to expose nerves, no harassment for nerves, less muscle peeling, less bleeding, patients with good after surgery, recovery after recovery, recovery Faster. "Professor Guan Hanfeng introduced that the contact area of ​​the OLIF fusion is about 4 times the traditional lumbar spine fusion surgery. It can strongly support the lumbar spine and enable patients to go to bed earlier after surgery. You can live within two weeks.

However, the problem also follows. OLIF's taboos include severe lumbar spinal stenosis, severe lumbar spine slip, and severe osteoporosis. The area of ​​normal human lumbar spinal canal nerve tissue (ductal sac) is greater than 100mm², while Grandma Xu's narrower area is only about 5mm². Is it easy to reset for decades? Severe osteoporosis, will the internal fixation be loose? One problem lingering in the minds of Guan Hanfeng after another.

After the joint discussion of all disciplines such as Tianyou Hospital's spine orthopedic, Tongji Hospital orthopedic spine professional professor, anesthesia department and other disciplines, Guan Hanfeng made the old lady's side lumbar spine fusion (olif)+back road resetting internal fixation+vertebrae Fracture into shape. With superb surgical skills, Dr. Guan broke through the technical restrictions of OLIF surgery, while healing the slip and fracture. Grandma Xu's narrow spinal canal was expanded from 5mm² to above 40mm², "liberating" the nerves that compressed decades. 48 hours after surgery, Grandma Xu walked in the ward under the help of his family, and the whole family was very happy. One week after surgery, Grandma Xu's recovery was discharged, interpreting the truth of minimally invasive innovation: less trauma, fast recovery, and small impact on normal life.

Dr. Guan emphasized that many middle -aged and elderly people pursue a light diet is a good thing, but they cannot be overkill and do not eat meat and eggs at all. In fact, it is very difficult to eat vegetarian health, because vegetarian is not the same as ingestion of protein, fat, etc. Vegetarians have higher requirements for the composition of nutrients, and special nutrients such as vitamins are also consumed. In the long run, eating too much may lead to malnutrition, fast old, osteoporosis, and easy to get sick. It should still be balanced and arranged reasonably for the food and food types of three meals a day.
