ELEVEN NUCLEUS PULPOSUS HERNIATION CASES TREATED SURGICALLY
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2007, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Higher disc space and mobility of lumbar spine causes these area more prone to repetetive trauma. This is the most important cause of nucleus pulposus herniation. In this study, we present surgical results of eleven patients who had nerve root compression because of disc herniation. 82 percent of patients were male and 55 percent of them were aged between 20 and 30 years. 63 percent of 11 cases had trauma history. First treatment choice must be with conservative measures. Surgery is indicated to patients who did not response to conservative treatment. Patients who have complaints for longer time, as hard workers, better results can be obtained with laminectomy and fusion.
