Short-term efficacy of minimally invasive interforaminal fusion via Quadrant channel in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation

Abstract

Objective To investigate the short-term effect of minimally invasive interbody fusion via Quadrant channel in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Methods Sixty patients with lumbar disc herniation Jiamusi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2015 to June 2018 were randomly selected. They were divided into control group and study group according to treatment methods, with 30 cases in each group. The control group underwent open interbody fusion and the study group underwent interbody fusion via the minimally invasive Quadrant channel. The dysfunction index (ODI), complications, operation indicator in the two groups were observed. Results The ODI index in the study group was lower than that in the control group, and the incidence of complications in the study group was lower than that in the control group. The amount of bleeding, operation time and postoperative drainage volume in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P all<0.05). Conclusions Minimally invasive interbody fusion via the Quadrant channel for lumbar intervertebral disc herniation has ideal short-term efficacy, high safety, less pain to patients, significant clinical value, and it is worthy of further clinical application. Key words: Minimally invasive Quadrant channel; Intervertebral foramen fusion; Lumbar disc herniation; Clinical efficacy
