Abstract
|
|
|
Form December 1992 to December 1994, 207 patients who had a contained lumbar disc herniation refractory to non-operative modalities were treated by Arthroscopic Microdiscectomy at Lee Chun Tek Hospital in Suwon Korea.
The purpose of this study was to reduce the incidence of complications and failures following Arthroscopic disc surgery.
@ES the results were obtained as follows;
@EN 1) Evaluation was made with St. Luke system's criterla. 31 patients were considered to have failed ; Fair 11(5.3%) Poor 20(9.7%). Outcome analysis demonstrated failure rate of 15%.
2) No serious complication was encountered.
3) the common causes of the failure were jnadequate decompression of nuclear material, non contained disc herniation and lateral recess stenosis.
Although laminectomy remains the conerstone of spinal surgery, the low incidence of failure and complication in this group of patients suggest that AMD offers an alternative method of treatment for symptom producing lumbar disc herniation.
