Minimally invasive compared to open microdiscectomy for lumbar disc herniation.
Before the advent of minimally invasive surgery for microdiscectomy, an open microdiscectomy had been the standard surgical intervention. Minimally invasive techniques have recently become more popular based upon the premise that smaller, less traumatic incisions should afford better recovery times and outcomes. From 2005 to 2008 we analyzed the outcomes of 25 patients who received an open micr...
متن کاملThe learning curve of minimally-invasive lumbar microdiscectomy.
OBJECT The safe integration into practice of a new surgical technique requires an appreciation of the learning curve. The object of this study was to assess the learning curve for minimally invasive microdiscectomy (MIM) utilizing a tubular retractor system. METHODS A prospective evaluation of a single surgeon's first 52 consecutive MIM cases for radiculopathy secondary to single-level poster...
متن کاملRole of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in Adults with Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis: A Narrative Review
Background and Aim: Degenerative lumbar scoliosis is a spinal deformity resulting from advanced disc degeneration and facet arthropathy. Given the inconclusive available literature and lack of high-quality data supporting the role of minimally invasive surgical management of degenerative lumbar scoliosis, this review intends to highlight and compare the various viable minimally invasive surgica...
متن کاملMinimally invasive discectomy versus microdiscectomy/ discectomy for symptomatic lumbar disc herniation
BACKGROUND Microdiscectomy or open discectomy (MD/OD) are the standard procedures for symptomatic lumbar disc herniation and they involve removal of the portion of the intervertebral disc compressing the nerve root or spinal cord (or both) with or without the aid of a headlight loupe or microscope magnification. Potential advantages of newer minimally invasive discectomy (MID) procedures over s...
متن کاملComparing the Incidence of Index Level Fusion Following Minimally Invasive Versus Open Lumbar Microdiscectomy
Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Objectives To determine the incidence of index level fusion following open or minimally invasive lumbar microdiscectomy. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 174 patients with a symptomatic single-level lumbar herniated nucleus pulposus who underwent microdiscectomy via a mini-open approach (MIS; 39) or through a minimally invasive dilator ...
