In this study 1250 patients who have been operated for lumber disc herniation during 10 years were analyzed. Seventy one percent of patients were male.with an average age of 37.2 +_ 0.9 years in which 61℅ had backache for many years ( average 3.5 +_  2.1 year) before experiencing root pain, and in 54℅ of them backache started following a heavy weight lifting or heavy job. 29℅ of patients were f...

Lumber disc disease is a common cause of medically authorized work . Fenestration provided better results in comparison to laminectomy procedure, and at the same time preserved the spinal stability and provided the early mobility & early return to previous job. It is a retrospective study of 47 cases of prolapsed lumber inter vertebral disc. The cases of low backache and sciatica were identifie...

In this study we present the efficacy of aspiration of disc material employing the Stryker Disc Dekompressor during percutaneous microdiscectomy for the treatment of chronic spinal and radicular pain due to contained lumber disc herniation and compare the short-term outcome in such patients with those who received lumber epidural injection. A total of 50 patients with chronic lumber discogenic ...

We studied the clinical effect of oxygen-ozone treatment of lumber disc herniation. Oxygen-ozone was administered by percutaneous injection (35-yong/ml), 6-15 ml into the intralumbar disc, and a few patients needed re-injection 48 hours later. We treated 323 patients with 433 discs with a total effective rate of 77.7%. Treatment of lumber disc herniation by oxygen-ozone was simple, safe and eff...

background & aim: to assess functionality status and surgical outcome of fenestration versus laminotomy technique based on core outcome measures index (comi) in patients with lumbar disc hernia (ldh). methods & materials/patients: a cross-sectional study was performed between january 2007 and april 2012. a total of 108 patients with a single-level disc herniation were asked to respond to the os...

BACKGROUND Degenerative disc disease is a common cause of chronic and disabling back pain that requires surgical intervention, posterolateral and posterior instrumental fixation (PLF), posterior lumber interbody fusion (PLIF) and transforaminal lumber interbody fusion (TLIF) are the techniques used to deal with such a problem. OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical and radiological outcome of the ...

Lumbar disc hernia (LDH) is a common cause of low back pain and radicular leg pain. It is well known that the majority of LDH patients recover spontaneously. Since the advent of MRI, a spontaneous regression of fragment size of disc hernia occurs, as well as mitigation of subjective difficulties and neurological disorders. Therefore, surgical treatment is not always method of choice in this dis...
