Microsurgery for lumbar disc herniation effectively treated sciatica and back pain. Over 2 years, 45 of 46 patients experienced full symptom remission after microdiscectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Lumbar disc herniation is a common cause of sciatic and low back pain.
  • Neurological deficits can occur in nearly half of affected patients.
  • Microsurgical techniques offer a potential treatment option.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of microsurgical discectomy for lumbar disc herniation.
  • To analyze patient selection criteria based on neurological and radiological findings.
  • To assess the long-term results of microdiscectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Microsurgical discectomy was performed on 46 patients (17 female, 29 male) aged 17-46.
  • Patient selection was based on neurological examination and radiological imaging (X-ray, myelography, CT, MRI).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was utilized for detailed evaluation of disc herniation characteristics.

    • Main Results:

    • Sciatic pain was the primary symptom in 85% of cases; low back pain in the remainder.
    • Neurological deficits were present in 46% of patients.
    • Full remission of symptoms was achieved in 45 out of 46 patients within a 2-year follow-up period.

    Conclusions:

    • Microsurgical discectomy is a highly effective treatment for carefully selected cases of lumbar disc herniation.
    • The technique demonstrates excellent outcomes with a high rate of patient recovery.
    • Strict adherence to indications and advanced imaging like MRI contributes to successful surgical results.
