Background Standard microscopic lumbar discectomy (MLD) is a short operation with
minimal blood loss, and a low rate of peri-and intraoperative complications. The objective of …

The bulk of the information regarding the use of annular closure devices in the prevention of
recurrent herniation following lumbar discectomy comes from a randomized clinical trial …

Background An annular closure device (ACD) could potentially prevent recurrent herniation
by blocking larger annular defects after limited microdiscectomy (LMD). The purpose of this …

Objective: Microdiscectomy (MD) is the gold standard for surgical discectomy. As a minimally
invasive discectomy, automated open lumbar discectomy (AOLD) is designed to preserve …

Background Minimally invasive techniques for lumbar discectomy have been recommended
as superior to open techniques due to lower blood loss, lower rates of infection and shorter …

Background: Microendoscopic discectomy (MED) and percutaneous transforaminal
endoscopic discectomy (PTED) are 2 of the most popular minimally invasive spinal surgery …

Objective The study aims to compare the outcomes of micro-lumbar discectomy (MLD) with
tubular micro-endoscopic discectomy (MED). Methods A retrospective analysis of 414 …

Objective Lumbar discectomy is an effective treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH);
however, up to 2–18% of patients with LDH have experienced recurrent disc herniation. The …

Background Previous studies have demonstrated bone-anchored annular closure to
significantly reduce reherniation and reoperation rates after lumbar discectomy in patients …

Object The aim of this study was to determine the 10-year clinical outcomes of
microendoscopic discectomy (MED), a surgical procedure for the treatment of lumbar disc …
