Far lateral lumbar disc herniations: 3- to 14-year results / Doria, Carlo; Crissantu, L; Dore, T; Lisai, Pietro; Fabbriciani, C.. - In: JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDICS AND TRAUMATOLOGY. - ISSN 1590-9921. - 2:(2002), pp. 93-97.
Abstract:
A retrospective review of
38 patients who underwent surgical treatment for far lateral lumbar disc
herniation (FLLDH) using two different techniques is reported. Between October 1986 and October 1997, we operated on 38 patients
with FLLDH: 12 had extraforaminal disc herniation and 26 had foraminal disc herniation. Plain roentgenograms,
computed tomography (CT)
scans and magnetic resonance (MR)images were obtained before surgery.Postoperative outcomes showed a relief of clinical symptoms with
recovery of neurological signs. There was no difference among the results
encountered in the two surgical groups. A diagnosis of level based on physical examination alone is difficult. The combined use of CT and MR imaging helps to confirm the exact localization of disc herniation.
