What is PLID?

PLID means Prolapsed Lumbar Intervertebral Disc. Many people know it as slip disc.
It causes lower back pain, leg pain, numbness, and difficulty in walking.

In Bangladesh, PLID is very common. Long working hours, wrong sitting posture, heavy work, and lack of exercise are some main reasons for this problem.

Old PLID Treatment in Bangladesh (Open Spine Surgery)

In the past, PLID treatment options were limited. Many patients needed open spine surgery, which required:

• Large cuts

• Long hospital stay

• More pain after surgery

• Slow recovery

Because of this, many people were afraid of spine surgery.

Now, the situation has changed.

Endoscopic Spine Surgery: A New Revolution

Today, PLID can be treated with Endoscopic Spine Surgery.
This is a modern and safe method.

In this surgery:

• Only a very small cut (about 0.5 cm) is needed

• Muscles are not badly damaged

• Pain after surgery is much less

• Patients recover faster

Most patients can go home within one day after surgery.
