  • Title: Lumbar disk herniation: an analysis of 175 surgically treated cases.
    Author: Stambough JL.
    Journal: J Spinal Disord; 1997 Dec; 10(6):488-92. PubMed ID: 9438813.
    Abstract:
    This is a retrospective review of 175 consecutive open lumbar diskectomies with a minimum 1-year follow-up (average follow-up, 54 months). Results of the diskectomies were: 91.0% good-to-excellent result, 3.4% fair, and 1.1% poor. Complications were few, and the overall recurrence rate was 4.6%. By multiple linear regression analysis, no one factor could predict the relief of leg pain.
