Abstract

The surgical management of prolapse of a lumbar disc has been practised since Mixter & Barr [1] discovered the link between sciatica and herniation of a lumbar disc in 1934. Discectomy through fenestration remains the most common approach for this condition in which conservative management has failed. Primary discectomy gives good results, but for revision surgery these results are less certain and the risks greater [2- 4]. Many studies have looked at rates of recurrence which are reported to vary from 3% to 19% [3-11]. In this study we have examined the rate of recurrence, and identified the risk factors which would indicate the likelihood of a revision operation being required [11]. The purpose of this study was to explore the outcome of primary discectomy operation in prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc (PLID) cases.
