A 30-year-old man weighing over 100 kilograms experienced worsening symptoms of disc herniation, causing weakness in legs and frequent falls, requiring rest after walking for about 5 minutes. Urgent treatment with 'minimally invasive spinal endoscopic surgery' improved his condition. Young adults in Taiwan have a high incidence of lower back pain, with 50% diagnosed with disc herniation, especially prevalent in office workers and weightlifters. Failure to seek timely medical attention can lead to permanent nerve damage and even loss of bladder and bowel control, necessitating emergency surgery within 6-8 hours to prevent permanent injury.
