ANALYSIS OF LUMBAR DISCECTOMY OPERATIONS IN ONE YEAR
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2016, Vol 27, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: The aim of the study is to analyse the lumbar discectomy operations in one year. Materials and Method: We inspected 203 patients who were operated for lumbar disc herniation between March-2015 and March-2016 at Dr. Lütfi Kırdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital Neurosurgery Clinic. The parameters that evaluated are the level of discopathy, side of the disc herniation, recurrent or first operation and type of surgery. Results: Mean age of the study population was 45.2 ± 11.9 years. Eighty-three patients (40.9%) were females, and 120 were males (59.1%). Accordingly the only significant difference was between levels of the lesions, and patients with simultaneous involvement of L4-L5 and L5-S1 were significantly younger than others (p=0.005). The type of operation as first or recurrent (p=262), or operation type (p=0.341) as instrumentation, prosthesis or simple discectomy were similar between sides of the patients. The comparisons revealed that majority of incident cases had simple discectomy, but instrumentation operations were significantly higher in recurrent cases (p<0.001). Conclusions: Correct surgical indication for lumbar disc herniation remains the key factor for the selection of the technique.
