Prolapsed Lumbar Intervertebral Disc
نویسنده
چکیده
Cramps in the affected leg are quite common and persistent although sciatic pain may have disappeared completely. A small proportion of patients develop a true recurrent prolapse (prolapse from the same disc) months to years later. This varies in individual statistics, but is probably in the neighbourhood of 4 per cent. to 5 per cent. These recurrent attacks of sciatica, due to a further protrusion, are dealt with in the same way as the primary attacks, except that one will tend to persist with conservative treatment for a much longer period before subjecting the patient to a second laminectomy. There is also a 2 per cent. risk of developing a further disc prolapse at another level.
