Result of Endoscopic Dissectomies for Treatment of Symptomatic Prolapse Lumber Disc Herniation
Keywords:
Lumber disc prolase, Endoscopic dissectomyAbstract
Introduction: Lumber disc prolapsed is a common problem and causes pain or weakness. There are multiple treatment options in which open surgical dissectomy is considered gold standard, but in this era trend is changed toward minimal invasive surgery i.e. endoscopic procedure. This study was carried out to determine the outcome of endoscopic dissectomy in our setup.
Objective: To determine the outcome of endoscopic dissectomy for the treatment of symptomatic lumber disc herniation.
Study Design: Descriptive case study.
Setting: This study was carried out in Department of Neurosurgery Lahore General Hospital Lahore.
Duration: Six months from 20-4-11 to 21-10-11.
Methods: Thirty patients were included in this study. All patients were treated with endoscopic dissectomy. The outcome were determined at 3 months follow-up based on MacNab’s classification system.
Results: According to MacNab’s classification system 26 (88.6) patients had successful outcome including excellent and good outcome.
Conclusion: Endoscopic dissectomy is a safe and effective treatment for patients with lumber disc herniation
