This article demonstrates the standardized operation process of Zhuang medicine line moxibustion in experimental animals. To achieve repeatability and accuracy of Zhuang medicine line moxibustion, we developed a simulator to maintain strength, heat, and frequency. We constructed a dysmenorrhea model for experimental verification in rats with cold coagulation syndrome.

Dural hernia following spinal endoscopic surgery is a rare complication. Here, we report a case of nerve root hernia associated with the absence of dural repair, prolonged operation time, and increased abdominal pressure due to postoperative constipation. Early dural tear repair and monitoring postoperative constipation can help prevent cauda equina herniation.
