Abstract
Background: Endoscopic disc surgery is a relatively new and minimally invasive technique, and endoscopic lumbar discectomy (ELD) has gained increasing popularity among the spine surgeons for the treatment of herniated intervertebral disc largely because it has the ability to overcome the limitation of muscles splitting. Hence; we planned the present study to retrospectively analyse patients undergoing ELD. Materials & methods: The present study to evaluate of data of patients who underwent endoscopic lumber discectomy (ELD). Data records of a total of 50 patients who underwent ELD were included in the present study.Data records of all the patients were obtained. We also obtained the follow-up records of all the patients from record files. Modified Macnab criteria were used for grading the results: excellent, good, fair and poor. All the results were recorded and analysed by SPSS software. Results: Mean duration of the surgery in the present study was 68 minutes. Perioperative complications encountered in the present study were inadvertent removal of facet joint, minor dural punctures and nerve root damage. None of these complications extended till the postoperative period. Conclusion: ELD is a safer technique which provides early rehabilitation and lesser side effects.
