Abstract
BackgroundThe incidence of Disc herniation is about 2–3% of population. Each year 300,000 procedures performed in USA. The aim of this paper is to describe the utility of endoscopic procedure in treatment of lumbar disc herniation. MethodsWe operated 359 patients from September 2013 to December 2016 for lumbar disk herniation by Endoscopic DESTANDAU method (EDM). The average length of surgery was 47min. We operated 211 male and 148 female patients. In average, patients had pain for 4.3 months before surgery. Results310 patients became pain free in six weeks and 332 after 3 months. We had 7 recurrent herniation. Among these patients 4 have been operated for the second time with success. Three patients refused to be operated. And had infiltration. We had 1 deep infection and 3 cutaneous infections. We have 7 two SCF fluid leak. Among them 3 needed second operation. ConclusionsThe patients are admitted the day of surgery and are discharged the day after surgery. EDM is a good alternative surgery for lumbar disk herniation in comparison with classical surgery. The duration of hospitalization is shorter and recovery is faster.
