Posterolateral arthroscopic discectomy demonstrated high efficacy for lumbar disc herniation. The study found a low complication rate, with most cases resolving successfully.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Lumbar disc herniation is a common cause of radicular pain.
  • Posterolateral arthroscopic discectomy offers a minimally invasive surgical option.
  • Evaluating the efficacy and safety of this approach is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy and complication rates of posterolateral arthroscopic discectomy.
  • To compare outcomes between bilateral biportal and unilateral uniportal approaches.
  • To determine the long-term success of the procedure for lumbar disc herniation.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective outcome study of 175 patients with lumbar disc herniation.
  • 169 patients available for follow-up (minimum 24 months).

  • Bilateral biportal approach for central/sequestered herniations; unilateral uniportal for paramedial/foraminal/extra-foraminal herniations.

    • Main Results:

    • 149 (88.2%) procedures were successful.
    • 20 (11.8%) procedures failed due to persistent radicular symptoms.
    • Low complication rate: 1 disc space infection, 1 transient peroneal neuropraxia, 4 skin hypersensitivities; all resolved without sequelae.

    Conclusions:

    • Posterolateral arthroscopic discectomy is an effective procedure for lumbar disc herniation.
    • The technique has a low rate of significant complications.
    • Both bilateral biportal and unilateral uniportal approaches demonstrated good outcomes.
