Abstract
Background: The majority of cases of back pain and
sciatica may be traced back to a lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
There has been a rise in the number of individuals diagnosed
with LDH across all age groups.
Aim of Study: The purpose of the research is to assess the
surgical outcome of microscopic lumbar discectomy in selected
patients with herniated lumbar disc in Neurosurgery Department at Banha University Hospitals.
Patients and Methods: This prospective clinical trial
involved 30 individuals of middle aged population who were
presented with clinical symptoms of low back pain and radiculopathy due to lumbar disc prolapse who failed sufficient
conservative treatment and were subjected for surgery. All
cases underwent microdiscectomy at Banha University Hospitals through the period from January 2022 to June 2023.
All patients had a preoperative L.S.S MRI at least four months
before surgery. All patients had preoperative L.S.S X-ray AP, lateral, lateral dynamic views and oblique views.
Results: Hospital stay and surgery time were short. Significance improvement occurred in VAS and ODI; VAS enhanced from 7.67 ± 1.06 to 1.47±0.78 (p
