Recurrent lumbar disc herniation (rLDH) is a common complication following primary discectomy. This systematic review aimed to investigate the current evidence on risk factors for rLDH. Cohort or case-control studies addressing risk factors for rLDH were identified by search in Pubmed (Medline), Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane library from inception to June 2015. Relevant results were pool...

The purpose of this study is to identify some risk factors and post-operative predictors for recurrent lumbar disc hernia (rLDH) during a long-term follow-up in patients treated with microdiscectomy. Aim the paper: This analyzes postoperative Material methods. We analyzed retrospectively consecutive series who underwent spinal microdiscectomy herniation (LDH) from January 2013 June 2018 at our ...

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...

Background: Revision discectomy is the principal procedure for recurrent lumbar disk herniation (RLDH). The clinicaloutcomes after this procedure are as good as or slightly poorer than those produced by primary discectomy. In thisstudy, the clinical outcomes of patients treated with microsurgical discectomy for RLDH were analyzed.Methods: We examined 179 patients undergoing lumbar microdiscecto...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Postoperative analgesia after hepatectomy remains a challenge, mainly because of limited therapeutic index of the conventional opioids. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of bilateral single-site thoracic paravertebral block for the management of postoperative pain following right lobe donor hepatectomy (RLDH) using a prospective, randomized and controll...

Study design/setting Retrospective analysis of single-center registry outcomes data. Objective Assess the utility of an annular closure device (ACD) as an adjunct to limited discectomy for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Background Recurrent lumbar disc herniation (rLDH) following limited discectomy persists at clinically significant rates, especially in large annular defect (at least 6 mm width)...
