However, the incidence of complications and disease recurrence rate after surgical treatment is high, and the reoperation rate is as high as 30-50%. Conservative treatment has the advantages of low price and high acceptance, so the treatment strategy first returns to conservative treatment.The complexity and repeatability of DLSS are the main reasons for the adoption of comprehensive treatment in modern medicine, but the efficacy is not significant.
