|

Abstract
|
|
|
This study was performed in an attempt to determine if there was any clinical benefit of microdiscectomy over standard procedure. All patients were operated on by the same surgeon with an either method. We evaluate retrospectively 26 cases of
microdiscectomy and 26 cases of standard discectomy using data derived from a questionare and chart review from july 1989 to June 1993. Mean operating time was about 17 minutes in the standard lumbar discectomy group, while 103 minutes in the
minutes in
the microsurgical discectomy group. Mean time to return to work was about 9.6 weeks in the standard lumbar discectomy. While 7.6 weeks in the microsurgical disectomy group. In this clinical comparative study, the two procedures have a similar
outcome,
and the advantage of microdisectomy is more safe than standard method, because of magnificantion and better illumination of operating field.
