The cadaver spine motion segment behavior under torsional load was evaluated with the disc intact, with partial anterior discectomy and with spacer insertion. The results of this study explain how anterior lumbar discectomy and interbody fusion (ALIF) affects the torsional stability of the motion segment. The pseudarthrosis rate of the anterior lumbar discectomy and interbody fusion (ALIF)...

background: recurrent lumbar disk herniation (rldh) is one of the major causes of failure of standard discectomy. the optimal treatment method for rldh is controversial. in the current study, we aimed to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of treating rldh with discectomy alone and discectomy associated with posterolateral interbody fusion (plif). material and methods: there were 41 pa...

the pain is the most common complaint in various diseases. postoperative pain is common complication and spatially in elderly patient because of exacerbation of heard and vessel was impotents. the aim of this study was evaluation of the effect of low-dose iv dexamethasone on postoperative pain in patients with lumbar discectomy.   in a clinical trial that studied in neurosurgery wards of shohad...

Objective: To explore the clinical effects of posterior microendoscopy discectomy and open surgery on lumbar disc herniation. Methods: A total of 97 patients with lumbar disc herniation treated in our hospital from January 2017 to August 2017 were selected as the research objects followed by being randomly divided into microendoscopy discectomy group (n=43) and open surgery group (n=44) with th...

Our objective was to assess the clinical outcome of interlaminar discectomy in patients suffering with degenerated lumbar disc lesions. We made a prospective study of 50 consecutive patients who underwent limited lumbar discectomy. The clinico-radiological parameters, type of surgery performed and the post-operative follow up were assessed. We found that interlaminar discectomy without laminoto...

Background: Lumber disc prolapse accounts for only 5% of all low back pain problems but is the most common cause of radiating nerve root pain which called sciatica. In the 20th century, techniques were developed to remove the herniated disc with minimal invasiveness, with these minimally invasive techniques; authors demonstrated decreased soft tissue manipulation, operative time, blood loss, an...

BACKGROUND Open discectomy is the standard surgical procedure in the treatment of patients with long-lasting sciatica caused by lumbar disc herniation. Minimally invasive approaches such as microendoscopic discectomy have gained attention in recent years. Reduced tissue trauma allows early ambulation, short hospital stay and quick resumption of daily activities. A comparative cost-effectiveness...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Lumbar discectomies are common surgical interventions that treat radiculopathy by removing herniated and loose intervertebral disc (IVD) tissues. However, remaining IVD tissue can continue to degenerate resulting in long-term clinical problems. Little information is available on the effects of discectomy on IVD biology. Currently, no treatments exist that can suspend or rever...

abstract background : the purpose of this study is to evaluate anterior cervical discectomy. materials and methods : this retrospective study was conducted on 43 patients underwent surgery through standard smith-robison technique with fusion. postoperative follow-up period was 24 months. clinical assessment was done through odom criteria, neck disability index and vas for neck pain. results : a...
