Background:

  • Thoracic intervertebral disc herniation is a rare condition with a complex diagnostic and treatment history.
  • Understanding its evolution is crucial for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the history of thoracic intervertebral disc herniation recognition.
  • To discuss pathogenesis, pathology, clinical presentation, diagnostics, and differential diagnosis.
  • To review the evolution of surgical techniques and compare their outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of thoracic intervertebral disc herniation.
  • Analysis of historical and current diagnostic and surgical approaches.
  • Comparison of surgical outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Surgical outcomes show laminectomy to be disadvantageous compared to thoracotomy and lateral approaches.
  • Orthopedic surgeons have increasingly contributed to the treatment of this condition in recent decades.
  • The condition is underrepresented in Polish literature.

Conclusions:

  • The evolution of surgical techniques has improved outcomes for thoracic intervertebral disc herniation.
  • Increased orthopedic involvement is beneficial.
  • Further dissemination of knowledge in Polish literature is needed.
