Conference Report | Academic Exchange on Pain Quality Control in Taiyuan Successfully Concluded — Spotlight on Annulus Fibrosus Suturing Under Spinal Endoscopy
From September 13 to 14, 2025, the General Technology Guozhong Health Spine Innovation Symposium & Pain Visualization Training Course, along with the Taiyuan Academic Exchange on Pain Quality Control, was successfully held in Taiyuan. The event was hosted by China Railway 17th Bureau Group Central Hospital and co-organized by Liaoning Electric Power Central Hospital. It attracted numerous leading experts and scholars in the field of pain medicine from across the country to exchange insights on cutting-edge visualization technologies and innovative approaches for spinal disease management.
Expert Presentation
Professor Jian Gao from China Railway 17th Bureau Group Central Hospital delivered a presentation11, highlighting that annulus fibrosus repair under spinal endoscopy offers significant advantages over traditional surgery. By minimizing trauma, accelerating recovery, and reducing recurrence rates, the technique can effectively enhance patients’ quality of life.
Live Surgery Demonstration
On September 14, Professor Jian Gao and Dr. Li Li’s team from the Department of Pain Medicine conducted a live-streamed spinal endoscopic annulus fibrosus suturing surgery. Through high-definition, real-time video connection, participants witnessed the entire procedure in detail.
The patient, a 56-year-old male, presented with low back pain and right lower limb pain for three days. Clinical examinations revealed lumbar lordosis straightening, localized tenderness, right-side paravertebral pain, and radiating pain down the right buttock and posterior leg. Neurological assessment showed numbness in the right calf and sole, weakened right Achilles tendon reflex, and positive straight leg raising test. With a history of hypertension, the final diagnosis was lumbar disc herniation (right L5–S1, paracentral type) with hypertension.
The surgical team first precisely relieved the compression on the affected nerve root, alleviating the patient’s pain. They then shifted focus to the annulus fibrosus tear, performing a meticulous suture repair. The team emphasized that annulus fibrosus rupture is a major cause of recurrent disc herniation, and repairing the defect is key to preventing recurrence. They also provided detailed guidance on core surgical techniques, including angle control, force application, and suturing strategies for different tear types. The refined surgical skills and clear clinical reasoning offered participants valuable insights and sparked lively discussion.
