Comparison of Outcome in Microdiscectomy V/S Conventional Discectomy
Keywords:
Microdiscectomy, Conventional DiscectomyAbstract
Objective: To Compare surgical outcome of microdiscectomy V/S Conventional Discectomy.
Study Design: Experimental Randomized Controlled trail.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out in Department of neurosurgery Lahore General Hospital Lahore Duration of Study was Six Months followed by Six Months Follow up.
Sample Size: Forty Patients for herniated Laumber Disc were Divided into two Group of 20 Each.
Results: Mean age of Patients range from 18 to 70 years in Group A (Open Discectomy) out of 20 Patients, 14 Patients (70%) stayed < 5 days and 6 Patients (30%). Stay in Hospital > 5 days. In Group B 20 patients (100%). Hospital Stay < 5 days. C.S.F leak in group A 5%. In group B No. CSF leak recorded in Group A 4 Patients (25%) wound infection. In Group B, 1 Patient (5%) wound infection.
Conclusion: Both techniques are equally good and effective but in term of hospital stay and wound infection microdisectomy showed better results than open discectomy.
