Summary

Waiting longer for lumbar discectomy surgery may increase post-operative pain intensity. This study examined the relationship between surgical wait times and patient pain levels following elective lumbar discectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedics
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Elective surgical lumbar discectomy is a common procedure for spinal stenosis.
  • Patient outcomes, including pain intensity, are critical measures of surgical success.
  • Understanding factors influencing post-operative pain is essential for optimizing patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between the duration of waiting time for elective surgical lumbar discectomy and post-operative pain intensity.
  • To determine if longer অপেক্ষা periods correlate with increased pain levels after surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing elective surgical lumbar discectomy.
  • Data collection on pre-operative waiting times and post-operative pain scores.
  • Statistical analysis to assess the relationship between waiting time and pain intensity.

Main Results:

  • A positive correlation was observed between longer waiting times and higher post-operative pain intensity.
  • Patients with extended delays before surgery reported greater pain levels after the procedure.
  • This suggests that waiting time may be a modifiable factor impacting surgical outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Extended waiting times for elective surgical lumbar discectomy may negatively impact post-operative pain.
  • Optimizing surgical scheduling to reduce wait times could potentially improve patient pain management and recovery.
  • Further research is warranted to confirm these findings and explore clinical implications.
